Spoiler alert and trigger warning all in one: This review will be about the very disturbing topic of the international sex trade, which is what the book I am reviewing, Ian Rankin’s “Hide and Seek” is about. Interesting that this book, about a detective who uncovers a hidden underbelly beneath his hometown of Endinburgh, Scotland in which super-wealthy assholes do horrible things to homeless young men and women and get away with it because nobody has the balls to actually do anything about it was only about 18 years away from a movie (“Taken”) in which a father uncovers a secret underbelly of super-wealthy assholes who kidnap young women and do horrible things with them.

I really did not liked the first Inspector Rebus novel but memory is a bit fickle so I decided to go back to Rankin and give him a another chance.Now, with the help of a bright, conflicted young detective, Rebus is following the girl through a brutal world of bad deals, bad dope and bad company. But in a shadowy, crumbling housing development, a junkie lies dead of an overdose, his bruised body surrounded by signs of Satanic worship. Admittedly, a stronger three-star rating, but not enough for me to consider giving a four-star rating.

Una historia mucho más centrada en la investigación que en la vida personal de Rebus, de la que ya tuvimos detalles en su anterior novela. It turns out that Ronnie was a threat to some people; Tracy knows more than she's telling; and Edinburgh's upper crust citizens have dark secrets.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins. I don’t care though as I love reading and love telling people what I think about books, so I’ll keep writing them! Ronnie's death, seemingly by his own hand, was the beginning of a complex case where things most definitely were not what they seemed.
