SET IN DARKNESS
Book ID/图书代码： 03540002B02218
English Summary/英文概要： On the eve of the first Scottish parliament in three hundred years, Edinburgh is a city rife with political passions and expectations. Queensbury House, the home of Scotland’s new rulers, falls in the middle of John Rebus’ turf, keeping him busy with ceremonial tasks. That quickly changes, however, when a long-dead body is discovered in a Queensbury House fireplace, a homeless man throws himself off a bridge - leaving behind a suitcase full of cash - and an up-and-coming politician is found murdered. The links between the three deaths lead Rebus to a confrontation with one of Edinburgh’s most notorious criminals, a man he thought he’d put in jail for life. Someone’s going to make a lot of money out of Scotland’s independence - and, as Rebus knows all too well, where there’s big money at stake, darkness gathers.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 靈魂雖深陷黑暗，
其定面朝陽而生。
雖深愛繁星漫天，
仍恐懼如墨黑夜。
“蘭金還未滿40就寫出了魯布斯系列的第十一本，這個系列仍然是英國犯罪小說領域中的上乘之作。”——《泰晤士報》
第一屆蘇格蘭議會的前夕，愛丁堡是一個充滿政治熱情，前途光明的城市。蘇格蘭新任管理者居住在“昆斯伯裡堡”，約翰•卢布思要負責此地的安全。
起初，卢布思整日忙於儀式工作。這些平靜的瑣碎被一樁樁謀殺案打破：“昆斯伯裡堡”的壁爐中出現一具死去多時的屍體；一個無家可歸的人從橋上墜落而死，卻留下一個裝滿現金的手提箱；一位前途似錦的年輕政客被謀殺。為了查出三樁案件之間的聯繫，卢布思將要面對愛丁堡歷史上最臭名昭著的罪犯，卢布思一心想將這個人永生關在監獄裡。他深知，有人企圖從蘇格蘭的獨立革命中大發橫財。哪裡有金錢，哪裡就有黑暗。(Celia)
