About this listen
Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller Ian Rankin returns with his gripping new Rebus novel. Unabridged edition featuring a bonus interview with Ian Rankin and James MacPherson.
Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a demotion and a chip on his shoulder. A 30-year-old case is being reopened, and Rebus's team from back then is suspected of foul play. With Malcolm Fox as the investigating officer are the past and present about to collide in a shocking and murderous fashion? And does Rebus have anything to hide?
His colleagues back then called themselves 'the Saints', and swore a bond on something called 'the Shadow Bible'. But times have changed and the crimes of the past may not stay hidden much longer, especially with a referendum on Scottish independence just around the corner.
Who are the saints and who the sinners? And can the one ever become the other?
Features a bonus interview with Ian Rankin and James MacPherson.

What made the experience of listening to Saints of the Shadow Bible the most enjoyable?
The reader is a genuine pleasure to listen to.Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
No. But the plot never does in Rankin's books. These are guilty pleasure reading, and perfect for comfortable listening or reading with a cup of hot chocolate on snowy day.Which character – as performed by James MacPherson – was your favorite?
I don't have a favorite. I just like MacPherson's work.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No, but that's rarely the case anyways.Any additional comments?
If you like Rankin, and if you like his Rebus novel you can't go wrong with this one. On the other hand this is a terrible, terrible place to start reading Rankin's book.More Rankin and Rebus
