Synopsis "black and blue"

Bible John killed three women, and took three souvenirs. Johnny Bible killed to steal his namesake's glory. Oilman Allan Mitchelson died for his principles. And convict Lenny Spaven died just to prove a point. Bible John terrorized Glasgow in the sixties and seventies, murdering three women he met in a local ballroom--and he was never caught. Now a copycat is at work. Nicknamed Bible Johnny by the media, he is a new menace with violent ambitions. The Bible Johnny case would be perfect for Inspector John Rebus, but after a run-in with a crooked senior officer, he's been shunted aside to one of Edinburgh's toughest suburbs, where he investigates the murder of an off-duty oilman. His investigation takes him north to the oil rigs of Aberdeen, where he meets the Bible Johnny media circus head-on. Suddenly caught in the glare of the television cameras and in the middle of more than one investigation, Rebus must proceed with caution: One mistake could mean an unpleasant and not particularly speedy death, or, worse still, losing his job. Written with Ian Rankin's signature wit, style and intricacy, Black and Blue is a novel of uncommon and unforgettable intrigue.

View Author's Page
Ian Rankin es un novelista escocés, conocido mundialmente por su serie de novelas policíacas protagonizadas por el inspector John Rebus. Nacido en Fife en 1960 y formado en Literatura Escocesa en la Universidad de Edimburgo, inicialmente exploró una carrera académica antes de dedicar sus esfuerzos a la escritura. Sus primeros trabajos incluyeron una variedad de empleos, desde recogedor de uvas y cuidador de cerdos hasta periodista de tecnología y funcionario fiscal, experiencias que enriquecieron su perspectiva y más tarde su obra narrativa.

Su novela The Flood marcó el inicio de su carrera como autor, aunque fue Knots & Crosses (1987), el primero en la saga Rebus, lo que cimentó su reputación. El personaje de John Rebus, un detective incómodo, complejo y atormentado, ha acompañado a Rankin a lo largo de décadas, madurando junto con él. Más allá de esta serie, también ha publicado novelas independientes —como Doors Open—, relatos, obras de teatro y colaboraciones en distintos formatos narrativos.

Rankin ha sido ampliamente reconocido por su contribución al género policial y a la literatura contemporánea. Además, su trabajo ha trascendido fronteras con traducciones a múltiples idiomas, adaptaciones televisivas y una base de lectorado global que sigue fielmente sus historias ambientadas en la atmósfera oscura y evocadora de Edimburgo.
