About this listen
An illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme. Is it a racist attack, or something else? Rebus is drawn into the case, but he has other problems: his old police station has closed, and his masters would rather he retire than stick around. As Rebus investigates, he must visit an asylum seekers' detention centre, deal with the sleazy Edinburgh underworld, and maybe even fall in love....
Siobhan has problems of her own. A teenager has disappeared from home, and Siobhan is drawn into helping the family, which means travelling too close towards the web of a convicted rapist. Then there are two skeletons, a woman and an infant, found buried beneath a concrete cellar floor in Fleshmarket Close. The scene begins to look like an elaborate stunt, but whose, and for what purpose? And how can it tie to the murder on the unforgiving housing-scheme known as Knoxland?

Rankin magic
Personally this was my least favourite Rankin book so far. This is solely because of the storyline which I found a bit dark and perhaps too political(?).
Another good listen though which should please the Rebus fans.

What a wonderful series
Ian Rankin is undoubtedly amongst the greatest writers of our times and James Macpherson brings Rebus and his Edinburgh to life in a totally believable way. I have been a fan since Ian Rankin's first book 'Knots & Crosses' and can find no fault in any of the following 24 books. Well done Ian, 'Fleshmarket Close' is every bit as insightful and engaging as any other book in your wonderful Rebus series.

Why abridged ????
Love this series and want to hear each book in full. You just don't get the depth with abridged versions. Rebus deserves full attention not a short story.
