KNOTS & CROSSES: Two girls have been abducted and brutally murdered. Now a third is missing. Detective Sergeant John Rebus, his own young daughter spirited away south by his disenchanted wife, is one of the policemen hunting the killer. And then the messages begin to arrive: knotted string and matchstick crosses - taunting Rebus with pieces of a puzzle only he can solve ' HIDE & SEEK: A junkie lies dead in an Edinburgh squat. Just another addict, until Inspector Rebus begins to chip away at the indifference, treachery, deceit and sleaze that lurk behind the facade of the city familiar to tourists. And only Rebus seems to care about a death that looks more like murder every day, a death that appeals to the darkest corners of his mind. TOOTH & NAIL: Drafted down to the Big Smoke thanks to a supposed expertise in the modus operandi of serial killers, Inspector Rebus is on the trail of a man who, due to his penchant for taking a bite from each of his victims, is known as the Wolfman. When Rebus is offered a profile of the Wolfman by an attractive lady psychologist, it seems too good an opportunity to turn down. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack '

This review is from: Rebus: The Early Years (Knots & Crosses / Hide & Seek / Tooth & Nail) (Paperback)
I took a recommendation to read this author from a TV clip about him. I must say I was very impressed and am now a fan. These first three novels introduce the character and set up some background about him. Well constructed stories and excellent capture of Scottish dialects. Highly recommend to read.

I bought this as a gift for my mom as she read on of his later books but the library only carried the most recent years. She devoured the first book in two days. She is struggling with the last one (Tooth and Nail). Time to read someone else for a change. Great author

Rebus: The early years,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rebus: The Early Years (Knots & Crosses / Hide & Seek / Tooth & Nail) (Paperback)
I bought the early trilogy because the hard backs were out of print. The first three novels came in an easy to hold and read softcover edition.
The book was well worth the money. Knots and Crosses was the first read in the book. It was nicely written, taut, short and a good introduction for Detective Sargent Rebus. The second book, Hide and Seek was long and not nearly as engaging as the first book. Tooth and nail found a nice happy medium between books one and two. Well written; more polished. The softcover edition can be purchased very reasonably, and presents a good value to detective story readers. G.G.
