Description
They call him the Wolfman - because he takes a bite out of his victims and because they found the first victim in the East End's lonely Wolf Street.
Scotland Yard are anxious to find the killer and Inspector Rebus is drafted in to help. But his Scotland Yard opposite number, George Flight, isn't happy at yet more interference, and Rebus finds himself dealing with racial prejudice as well as the predations of a violent maniac. When Rebus is offered a serial killer profile of the Wolfman by an attractive female psychologist, it's too good an opportunity to miss. But in finding an ally, he may have given his enemies an easy means of attack.

Another Solid Rebus Story
After having a break to read other genres, I returned to book 3 of the Rebus series. Initially, I found it difficult to get into the swing of this one, not that there was anything wrong overall with the story... I just found for some reason it didn't grab me as quickly as the first two.Rankin as always weaved an intricate plot with interesting hooks that even though I'd read this before, I couldn't remember most of it by the time I'd got around to listening to it this time.
All in all, a solid Rebus story, expertly narrated once again by James Macpherson, even if it did take a little longer than normal to get me sucked in.
