Book Log 2017 #13: Black and Blue by Ian Rankin

While there's much here that's classic John Rebus, I find the book notable for the inclusion of Bible John, a real-life Scottish serial killer whose identity was never determined. It's a bit of a departure for a Rebus novel to delve this deeply into a real case, though not a bad one I think.  I can certainly see why someone who created a highly successful fictional detective would want to give him a crack at one of Scotland's most notable unsolved crimes.
