[edit] Plot summary
Detective Inspector John Rebus is investigating a suspected war criminal. Rebus helps a traumatised Bosnian prostitute and tries to intercede in a territory war between upstart gangster Tommy Telford and 'Big Ger' Cafferty's established gang. Telford is known to have close links with Newcastle gangster Mr Pink Eyes - a Chechen people-smuggler.
Rebus' daughter Sammie is knocked down in what looks like a professional hit-and-run. A Japanese gangster is killed by someone trying to frame Rebus, using his Saab car.
The title refers to The Cure's song "The Hanging Garden".
