Las obsesiones pueden acelerar tu caída. Al inspector John Rebus le gustaría solucionarlo todo, pero para eso debe adentrarse en la oscuridad. En apenas unos días, se tiene que enfrentar a un pederasta reincidente, al inexplicable suicidio de un colega, a la enigmática desaparición del hijo de unos amigos y, sobre todo, a un peligroso psicópata deportado a Edimburgo por las autoridades estadounidenses.

Un exmilitar entra en una escuela de un pueblo costero al norte de Edimburgo, mata a dos jóvenes de diecisiete años y, luego, vuelve el arma contra sí mismo. En su investigación, el inspector Rebus descubre que el asesino y homicida tenía tanto amigos como enemigos en la comunidad, y que el mismo Ejército está poniendo trabas a su investigación.

Debido a su insubordinación, Rebus es enviado a un centro de "reeducación" para policías. Allí llegan otros cinco agentes en su misma situación, y juntos deberán resolver un antiguo caso sin cerrar. Sin embargo, Rebus guarda sus propios secretos sobre el caso y empezará a dudar de la verdadera finalidad de su reeducación y la sinceridad de sus ocasionales colegas. Pronto descubrirá sombras que emborronan el pasado.

La hija de un poderoso banquero ha desaparecido. Solo hay dos pistas: el hallazgo de una muñeca en un minúsculo ataúd, cerca de la residencia familiar, y la participación de la joven en un juego de rol en Internet dirigido por un oscuro gurú. Todo apunta a otros antiguos casos no resultos. El inspector Rebus se pondrá a hurgar en la primera pista, mientras la agente Siobhan Clarke seguirá a un misterioso "Programador" en una investigación contrarreloj.

"Así era Edimburgo: reservada, autosuficiente y mortal si le plantabas cara". El inspector Rebus intuye que el suicidio de un indigente, el hallazgo de un cadáver emparedado en la sede del futuro Parlamento de Escocia y el asesinato del candidato laborista podrían estar conectados. En cuanto Rebus comience a atar cabos, se topará con una Edimburgo en plena transformación cuyos hilos, sin embargo, son manejados por los mismos viejos malhechores de siempre. El autor de negra más famoso y probablemente más exitoso de las islas.
