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 story about life, love, and learning at today's American colleges. Set at fictional Dupont University, a prestigious institution with roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns, the narrative follows Charlotte Simmons, a sheltered freshman from North Carolina. Initially captivated by the university's scholarly facade, Charlotte quickly discovers that for many upper-crust students, sex, social status, and partying overshadow academic success. As she navigates the elite social circles, Charlotte meets her roommate Beverly, a Groton-educated girl focused on lacrosse players; Jojo Johanssen, a white basketball player whose position is threatened by a talented black freshman; Hoyt Thorpe, a fraternity leader whose entitlement is solidified through a brawl with a governor's bodyguard; and Adam Geller, a Millennial journalist who sees himself as a defender of intellectualism on the campus. Caught in the allure of acceptance, Charlotte begins to compromise her values and upbringing. However, she ultimately realizes the strength in embracing her uniqueness and the charm of her own innocence. With his trademark satirical wit, Wolfe captures the essence of the early-21st-century college experience through keen observations across various campuses.
