When a young woman is found unconscious at the wheel of her car, evidence at the scene suggests this was no ordinary crash. Especially when it turns out her boyfriend is the son of the Scottish Justice Minister and neither of them is willing to talk to the police. Meanwhile, John Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a big demotion and an even larger chip on his shoulder. A new law has been passed allowing the Scottish police to re-prosecute old crimes and a thirty-year-old case is being reopened, with Rebus and his team from back then suspected of corruption and worse. Known as 'the Saints', his colleagues swore a bond of mutual loyalty on something called 'the Shadow Bible'. But with Malcolm Fox as the investigating officer - and determined to use Rebus for his own ends - the crimes of the past may not stay hidden much longer. With political turmoil threatening to envelop Scotland, who really are the saints and who the sinners? And can the one ever become the other?

Tom Wolfe, the master social novelist, presents a sensational new novel about life, love, and learning in today's American colleges. Set at fictional Dupont University, the story follows beautiful and brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a sheltered freshman from North Carolina. Initially enchanted by the university's roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns, Charlotte soon discovers that for the elite coeds, sex, coolness, and parties take precedence over academics. As she navigates the world of Dupont's privileged elite, Charlotte encounters her roommate Beverly, a Groton-educated girl obsessed with lacrosse players; Jojo Johanssen, a white basketball player facing competition from a talented black freshman; Hoyt Thorpe, a fraternity leader with a sense of entitlement; and Adam Geller, a member of the university's independent newspaper who believes in intellectual integrity amidst a hedonistic campus culture. Seduced by the allure of acceptance, Charlotte grapples with betraying her values and upbringing before realizing the strength of her individuality and the charm of her innocence. With his signature satirical wit and keen observational detail, Wolfe captures the essence of the early-21st-century college experience.
