Reviews"Rankin remains the most consistent practitioner of finely crafted, richly detailed, literary crime novels being produced today. He's always been at the top of his game, and this latest is no exception."-- Linwood Barclay, "Rankin fans . . . will welcome this reprinting of a state-of-the-art, high-tech international thriller from 1990. . . . A fast-paced blast from the past . . . and (who knows?) maybe the immediate future as well." -- Kirkus Reviews, "[A] techno-action-thriller with its ripped-from-today's-headlines plot...uncanny."-- Richard Lipez, The Washington Post, "Loved In A House Of Lies. How does Rebus keep on getting better and better? Ian Rankin is a genius."-- Lee Child, "[A] techno-action-thriller with its ripped-from-today's-headlines plot...uncanny." -- Richard Lipez, The Washington Post, "Rankin fans . . . will welcome this reprinting of a state-of-the-art, high-tech international thriller from 1990. . . . A fast-paced blast from the past . . . and (who knows?) maybe the immediate future as well."-- Kirkus Reviews, "There's no one like Ian Rankin for bringing us right into the world of detectives. For anyone who's fascinated by the inner workings of that world, and all its tricky, brutal, expert ruthlessness, In A House of Lies is a must-read."-- Tana French
