A post-retirement Rebus novel. Another meditation on the self-serving self-involvement of the members of society's leadership. Also another look at how the vacuous, impersonal rights and respect babblings of modern corporate culture blind us and make us incapable of engaging with elements that endanger our social order. There are crossovers in Rankin's view of the modern police force with the ideas in John Gray - this living in a mythical, fantasy world that in the end blinds us to the world around us, leaving us in a hollow echo chamber of our own babble.
Another great book by Rankin.
