Title: The Naming of the Dead (An Inspector Rebus)
Description: The leaders of the free world descend on Scotland for an international conference, and every cop in the country is needed for front-line duty...except one.  John Rebus's reputation precedes him, and his bosses don't want him anywhere near Presidents Bush and Putin, which explains why he's manning an abandoned police station when a call comes in.  During a preconference dinner at Edinburgh Castle, a delegate has fallen to his death.  Accident, suicide, or something altogether more sinister?  And is it linked to a grisly find close to the site of the gathering?  Are the world's most powerful men at risk from a killer?  While the government and secret services attempt to hush the whole thing up, Rebus knows he has only seventy-two hours to find the answers.
