Detective Inspector John Rebus is going back for retraining.

The fourteenth Inspector Rebus novel - and No.1 bestseller. Two seventeen-year-olds are killed by an ex-Army loner who has gone off the rails. The mystery takes Rebus into the heart of a shattered community. Ex-Army himself, Rebus becomes fascinated by the killer, and finds he is not alone. Army investigators are on the scene, and won't be shaken off. The killer had friends and enemies to spare and left behind a legacy of secrets and lies. Rebus has more than his share of personal problems, too. He's fresh out of hospital, but won't say how it happened. Could there be a connection with a house-fire and the unfortunate death of a petty criminal who had been harassing Rebus's colleague Siobhan Clarke?

Wat is er de laatste vijfduizend jaar in de geschiedenis van de mensheid aan belangwekkends gebeurd? Reusachtige rijken zijn opgebouwd en vernietigd, prachtige uitvindingen zijn gedaan, religies en goden kwamen op en gingen onder, er zijn verschrikkelijke oorlogen gevoerd en indrukwekkende kunstwerken gemaakt. Loel Zwecker slaagt er met zijn levendige stijl, zijn originaliteit en zijn intelligentie in om een enorm panorama van de mensheid te scheppen zonder ook maar één ogenblik het overzicht te verliezen. Zijn vermogen om in Alles tot nu toe verbanden te leggen met andere tijden en andere plekken op aarde geeft de voortdurende sensatie dat we onderdeel zijn van een grotere samenhang – de dertiendeeeuwer is onze tijdgenoot, de Chinees onze buur. Na het lezen van deze geschiedenis van de mensheid weten we beter dan ooit wie wij, eenentwintigste-eeuwers, zijn. Een indrukwekkend overzicht van de wereldgeschiedenis.
