In Edinburgh, summer, the city accepts the annual festival, which hundreds of thousands of guests from all over the world come together … How inspector Rebus hates this time! Phones in the police are torn: street theft, fraud, calls with threats to blow up a bomb. And here is something extraordinary: in one of the nooks of the medieval “forbidden city”, walled up under the historical center of Edinburgh, the corpse of a young man was discovered. Apparently, here, in a gloomy dungeon, a ritual of painful execution was made. What is this – a punishment for betrayal of the edification of others? But then who are these “others”? Members of the religious sect of fanatics, fighters of the secret terrorist organization, participants in criminal groups? John Rebus gets to the bottom of the truth, although he will be on the hair from death, and having learned who his savior will once again be surprised at the vicissitudes of fate.
