Amazon.co.uk Review
Because the first body was found in Wolf Street, because the murderer takes a bite from each body, the press have found a new terror, the Wolfman... Drafted down to the Big Smoke thanks to his expertise in the modus operandi of serial killers, Inspector John Rebus is on a train south from Edinburgh. His Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight, isn't too happy at yet more interference. It's bad enough having several Chief Inspectors on your back without being hounded at every turn by an upstart Jock. Rebus is going to have to deal with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac. When he's offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive lady psychologist, it's too good an opportunity to turn down. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack.

Great book - can be read standalone or as part of series February 8, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have read a lot of the Rebus books and always think that one of the great things that Ian Rankin manages to do by the end of the novel is tidy up and close off the main subject but keep enough ends still loose to feed into the next book, encouraging you to pick up another one.
This Rebus story is an interesting one as he is in London. He misses home all the time and makes lots of comparisons between his surroundings and experiences with Scottish equivalents - this I think is written as a comfort for Rebus as well giving a familiar reading experience to the reader.
I always think that Rebus is older than he actually is. The book is written in the early 90s and he is in his early 40s but seems to think that chilli and lasagne are something modern. This has the effect, to me, of making Rebus very appealing.
I am trying to read the books in order (although have read quite a few of the later ones) and I am loving the way he is developing.
 The Best Rebus Book Yet! August 21, 2007
Rebus is down in the "Big Smoke" following a series of murders, he is supposedly the "expert" and is drafted down by the met.
He finds it hard to adjust to the south, London is massive and the people in a differnt world compared to Edinburgh where he is used to, this time, its not his back yard.
After finally getting settled he is still finding it hard with the way the Met CID work, but still carves out a way of working, and gets results, with the main story and also the subplot, which his family down in London, his now grown-up family.
The Characters are well written and the way Rankin describes London is great. The whole character plots are like all Rankin books I have read so far, that is very well written.
This book would be a great read to none Rebus familiar readers, but for the Rebus fans, its an even BETTER read!

Have just read this and enjoyed it a lot. The plot was well crafted and the characters believable.
Despite being graphic and disturbing at times it was well balanced with wry humour and anedotes
I will certainly read more of this author's work
Thrid outing for Rebus February 9, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
The story's main character Rebus is requested by Scotland Yard to help investigate the Wolfman serial killer. Set in London we see Rebus interact with his new temporary surroundings, his family (whom are now living in London) and his new colleagues. Rankin's writing has improved from the previous two Rebus novels and it is with this one we see a more structured piece of work. The plot is just as good if not better than the first Rebus novel Knots and Crosses as we see Rankin view Rebus in a new light but keeping the traditional character of Rebus intact from his previous work.
