The streets of Edinburgh are being haunted by more than just ghosts. Girls are being kidnapped and murdered and the police have no suspects. Detective Sergeant John Rebus begins to receive notes from the killer which taunt and tease him with the same message and pieces of string tied into knots. Can he figure out who the killer is before his own daughter becomes a target?
As an interesting side-note, during the writing of Knots and Crosses, the author, Ian Rankin, briefly became a suspect in a murder case. The Edinburgh detectives had a real-life case on their hands which mirrored the plot of the story too closely for their liking. Once Rankin was able to prove that he had alibis for the relevant times, he was cleared of all suspicion.
