The Hanging Garden

CWA/Macallan award winning DI Rebus is up to his neck in a gang war that threatens his family and his career.... Detective inspector John Rebus is bureid under a pile of paperwork generated by his investigations into a suspected war criminal. But an escalating dispute between the upstart Tommy Telford and Big Ger Cafferty's gang gives Rebus an escape clause. Telford is known to have close links with a Newcastle gangster nicknamed Mr Pink Eyes. A Cnechan bringing refugees into Britain as prostitutes. When Rebus takes under his wing as a distraught Bosnian call girl, it gives him a personal reason to make sure Telford takes the high road back to Paisley and pronto. Within days, Rebus's daughter is the victim of an all too professional hit and run and Rebus knows that now there is nothing he wouldn't do to bring down prime suspect Tommy Telford - even if it means cutting a deal with the devil.
