Black and Blue by Ian Rankin | Crime Thriller Paperback Book

Black and Blue – A gripping crime thriller paperback book by Ian Rankin featuring Inspector Rebus chasing a copycat killer across Scotland.

Even serial killers have heroes...

In the 1960s, the infamous Bible John terrorised Scotland, murdering three women and leaving behind a trail of horror. Thirty years later, a new killer stalks the streets — a copycat known as Johnny Bible — and Detective Inspector John Rebus is determined to stop him before more lives are lost.

Rebus’s unconventional methods have once again landed him in trouble. Removed from the official inquiry and reassigned to a suspicious oilman’s death, he soon discovers that both cases may be dangerously connected. As the media frenzy grows and the pressure mounts, Rebus must battle his own demons while facing a killer who seems to know him all too well.

Atmospheric, gritty, and unrelenting, Black and Blue is one of Ian Rankin’s most acclaimed novels — blending real history with unforgettable fiction in a race against time that only Inspector Rebus could survive.

Fans of Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, and Peter James books will love this masterful blend of Scottish crime fiction, detective mystery, and gripping suspense.
