While this is not the first John Rebus book in Ian Rankin's DI Rebus series, it is much better than the first. Good plot, developing characters, and excellent writing.
While I trudged through the first book I read Hide and Seek like a hot knife through butter. There is enough background of DI Rebus in Hide and Seek that you don't need to start with the first in this series. Good, good read.
