Synopsis

From bestselling Ian Rankin, winner of the 1997 CWA GOLD DAGGER for fiction for BLACK & BLUE the three Jack Harvey novels, gathered together in one omnibus volume.

WITCH HUNT, BLEEDING HEARTS, BLOOD HUNT:
Three thrillers by mega-seller Ian Rankin, writing as Jack Harvey
'Rankin's ability to create a credible character, delivering convincing dialogue to complement sinister and hard-hitting plots against vividly detailed atmosphere, is simply awesome' Time Out
'His fiction buzzes with energy ... Essentially he is a romantic storyteller in the tradition of Robert Louis Stevenson ... His prose is as vivid and terse as the next man's yet its flexibility and rhythm give it a potential for lyrical expression which is distinctively Rankin's own ... Rankin controls the material with extraordinary authority and even delicacy ... Rankin ranks alongside P.D. James and Michael Dibdin as Britain's finest detective novelist' Scotland on Sunday
'Rankin's prose is understated, yet his canvas of Scotland's criminal underclass has a panoramic breadth. His ear for dialogue is as sharp as a switchblade. This is, quite simply, crime writing of the highest order' Daily Express

Reviews

'Rankin delivers, without the help of Rebus, an excellent cop novel full of action, good dialogue, well-crafted characters and an authentic backdrop'
THE TIMES

'On the evidence of THE COMPLAINTS it looks as if Fox will be just as sure-footed a guide to the city as his grizzled predecessor'
DAILY EXPRESS

'The precisely rendered police procedure is impressive... Rankin's strength resides in a kind of fingertip search of the urban scene, exposing the underbelly of a city scarred by violence'
TLS

'A substantial and satisfying novel with the skilfully orchestrated narrative that Rankin does so well'
