 A book with many plot elements can risk becoming amorphous and overcomplicated. But Rankin does not get lost that way. In his backhanded, reluctant way Rebus winds up uniting all the book's loose ends, and seeing how he accomplishes this is a pleasure. Besides, "The Naming of the Dead" isn't really about its detective plot. It's about Rebus's taking stock, not only of his own past but also of the world around him.  That's a lot of plot (nor is it all of it), but the strength of the novel lies in the way that Rankin weds it to his exploration of character: we get more insight into Clarke as she struggles with her relationship with her academic parents. Throughout, Rebus is brooding on his age and increasing isolation, thinking about the unexpected death of his brother and the way he has messed up with the rest of his family. It's page-turning, complicated crime, with some fine vignettes containing the only convincing pathos in the book. It feels as if written on the hoof by someone running round with a microphone, collecting soundbites of humour, fury and moral angst - like Dickens on speed, highly enjoyable, but ultimately breathless.

HTML: The leaders of the free world descend on Scotland for an international conference, and every cop in the country is needed for front-line duty...except one. John Rebus's reputation precedes him, and his bosses don't want him anywhere near Presidents Bush and Putin, which explains why he's manning an abandoned police station when a call comes in. During a preconference dinner at Edinburgh Castle, a delegate has fallen to his death. Accident, suicide, or something altogether more sinister? And is it linked to a grisly find close to the site of the gathering? Are the world's most powerful men at risk from a killer? While the government and secret services attempt to hush the whole thing up, Rebus knows he has only seventy-two hours to find the answers. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Ambientato a Edimburgo durante la riunione del G8 del 2005 ha una trama avvincente e un finale inatteso che lascia spazio ad un seguito.
Il detective ammorbidisce ancora un po' il suo carattere, un pochino meno burbero rispetto agli esordi e ce lo rende più simpatico. (
