Set in Scotland, this short novella is one of Rankin's Detective Rebus crime stories. It's about gambling and, despite its title, no one dies. Perhaps Rankin's longer works are more satisfying.

i’m glad i read dead souls before this one. it made the ending that much sweeter

also i bought this copy on ebay for £20 because it was signed by ian rankin. i’m very glad i enjoyed it to justify that spend on a 75 page book

Not bad but disappointing anyway. It's a retelling of a part of Dead Souls and I'd rather re-read Dead Souls any day.
