Description:MP Gregor Jack is caught
in an Edinburgh brothel with a prostitute only too keen to show off her
considerable assets. When the media horde begins baying for political
blood Jack's friends rally round to protect him. But some of those
friends - particularly his wife's associates - are not so squeaky clean
themselves.
Initially Detective Inspector Rebus is sympathetic to the
MP's dilemma - who hasn't occasionally succumbed to temptation? - but
with the disappearance of Jack's wife the glamour surrounding the
popular young man begins to tarnish. Someone wants to strip Jack naked
and Rebus wants to know why ...
