SAINTS OF THE SHADOW BIBLE not only reaches back to the past to find out what John Rebus did, but also to discover who he really is. With political turmoil threatening to envelop Scotland, who really are the saints and who the sinners? And can the one ever become the other? But with Malcolm Fox as the investigating officer - and determined to use Rebus for his own ends - the crimes of the past may not stay hidden much longer. Known as 'the Saints', his colleagues swore a bond of mutual loyalty on something called 'the Shadow Bible'. Rankin revives Glasgow's mythologised bogie-man 'Bible John,' who raped and murdered women he met at the Barrowlands Dance-hall. A new law has been passed allowing the Scottish police to re-prosecute old crimes and a thirty-year-old case is being reopened, with Rebus and his team from back then suspected of corruption and worse. Ian Rankin was born in the village of Cardenden in Fife in 1960. Meanwhile, John Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a big demotion and an even larger chip on his shoulder. He went to school in Auchterderran and then Cowdenbeath where an English teacher recognised his. Especially when it turns out her boyfriend is the son of the Scottish Justice Minister and neither of them is willing to talk to the police. Ian Rankin 1960 - Biography Ian Rankin was born in the village of Cardenden in Fife in 1960.
