Watchman
By Ian Rankin
PUB:  Little Brown and Company
ISBN:  978-0316009133

The job of a watchman is simply to watch and report--but now and then something goes wrong.  When it happens to Miles Flint, he starts to investigate--and he's warned to drop it.  He does, but not everyone has.

Lives come together, alliances formed and broken.  Lies uncovered.

Miles isn't the only person digging--and he's not the only one in danger.  He finds that there are a lot of hidden secrets that reach into the guts of the Watcher's Service--does it go all the way to the top man?  But its not until he's sent on a job that could mean his life, that he realizes that he knows "too much" and is in the way.  But who's way, and what does he know?

I guess its not possible to read all the books in the world, but its always nice to find one that's a well written and exciting as this one.
