This is another great Rebus novel and is better than the previous three. It is full of humour with loads of one-liners and puns.
The title "Strip Jack" refers to the MP Gregor Jack who is caught at the beginning of the book in a police (polis) raid on an Edinburgh brothel. It seems he has been set up by someone who is trying to strip him of everything he has worked for. Rebus keeps an interested eye on Mr. Jack but becomes further involved when his wife goes missing and is later found dead. Follow Rebus' thought processes as he solves the case.
And all this is set in Rebus's Edinburgh and the surrounding area including trips into the highlands.
A great read.
