"Knots and Crosses" by Ian Rankin appears to be the first Inspector Rebus novel in a series and I'm hooked after reading it!
Detective John Rebus works in Edinburgh where the city has had a series of murders of young girls between the ages of 8 and 12 and Rebus has been assigned (along with a huge task force) to work the case. In the meantime, he's getting anonymous letters at home and at work -- all hand delivered -- with phrases that make no sense to him. However, when his 12 year old daughter is kidnapped and may be the next victim, it begins to look like a personal vendetta against John himself. He has memory lapses from the time he served in the military. Will his hypnotist brother be able to help him recover his memory and save his daughter? I'm off to look for the next book in the series. pazt
