Author Q&A
Gregor Jack, MP, well-liked, young, married to the fiery Elizabeth - to the outside world a very public success story. But Jack's carefully nurtured career plans take a tumble after a 'mistake' during a police raid on a notorious Edinburgh brothel. Then Elizabeth disappears, a couple of bodies float into view where they shouldn't, and a lunatic speaks from his asylum... Initially 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...
'James MacPherson's readins of Ian Rankin's novels deserve a special place in the audio-thrillers' hall of fame. He takes us straight into the back of DC Rebus's head, and makes us loth to leave it. STRIP JACK is a juicily long abridgement, which allows plenty of time for us to get to know a gallery of possible suspects for the murder of an MP's wife who has an inconvenient liking for perverted sexual horseplay.'
