Synopsis:
Edinburgh is about to become the home of the first Scottish parliament in nigh on 300 years. As political passions run high, DI John Rebus is charged with liaison, thanks to the new parliament being resident in Queensbury House, bang in the middle of his patch. But Queensbury House has its own, dark past. Legend has it that a young man was roasted there on a spit by a madman. When the fireplace where the youth died is uncovered another more recent murder victim is found. Days later, in the gardens outside, there is a third body. This victim is Roddy Grieve, a prospective MSP, and Rebus is under pressure to find instant answers. As the case proceeds, the Inspector finds himself face to face with one of Edinburgh's most notorious criminals...

Condition: Muy bueno. : En 'Set in Darkness', Edimburgo se prepara para albergar el primer parlamento escocés en casi 300 años. En medio de las crecientes pasiones políticas, el inspector John Rebus es asignado como enlace, ya que el nuevo parlamento reside en Queensbury House, justo en medio de su jurisdicción. Pero Queensbury House tiene su propio pasado oscuro. La leyenda cuenta que un joven fue asado allí en un asador por un loco. Cuando se descubre la chimenea donde murió el joven, se encuentra otra víctima de asesinato más reciente. Días después, en los jardines exteriores, aparece un tercer cuerpo. Esta víctima es Roddy Grieve, un posible MSP, y Rebus está bajo presión para encontrar respuestas inmediatas. A medida que avanza el caso, el inspector se encuentra cara a cara con uno de los criminales más notorios de Edimburgo.
