  • "Suite à la disparition de la fille d'un riche banquier, on retrouve dans la propriété de celui-ci un cercueil de 20 cm environ contenant une poupée en bois sculpté. Les policiers Rebus et Siobhan suivent une double piste : celle de la colline aux chagrins où ont été retrouvés des cercueils similaires et celle de Quizmaster, un inconnu avec qui la jeune disparue jouait aux devinettes sur Internet."
  • "Mystery fiction. Detective and mystery stories. A student has gone missing in Edinburgh. She's not just any student, though, but the daughter of well-to-do and influential bankers. There's almost nothing to go on until DI John Rebus gets an unmistakable gut feeling that there's more to this than just another runaway spaced out on unaccustomed freedom. Two leads emerge: a carved wooden doll in a toy coffin, found in the student's home village, and an Internet role-playing game. The ancient and the modern, brought together by uncomfortable circumstance."
  • "Edinburgh detective John Rebus gets involved with the case of a missing young woman. His only clues are an Internet-based role-playing game and a wooden doll stuffed into a tiny casket."
  • "A wealthy banker's daughter is found missing from Edinburgh University and Detective Inspector John Rebus has little to aid his search for her and the nature of her disappearance. In the student's home village, a carved wooden doll lain inside a six-inch coffin offers the first clue. When details emerge of the young women's involvement in an internet role-playing game, DC Siobhan Clarke ventures into the lair of the Quizmaster, where she will struggle to escape. How this is linked to history with its high technology is yet to be unveiled."
  • "The daughter of an extremely well-to-do banker in Edinburgh has vanished and Inspector Rebus has been called in to investigate. The only clues are a carved wooden doll in a six inch coffin abandoned at a rural spot and an Internet role-playing game run by a mysterious cyber guru."@en

  • "Another Inspector Rebus case. A student has gone missing in Edinburgh, the daughter of influential bankers. Rebus feels that this is more than another missing case. When a doll is found in a six-inch coffin in her village, along with an internet rolēplaying game, his fears prove well founded."
  • "Ian Rankin's John Rebus, arguably the most realistic detective in crime fiction, is a brilliant but troubled man. When a young woman goes missing near his native Edinburgh, Scotland, Rebus finds himself just one small cog in the huge wheel of an inquiry set in motion by her powerfully rich father. Struggling to deal with both his own often-terrifying inner demons as well as the monstrous bureaucracy of the investigative team, Rebus finds himself drawn again and again into the case, desperately searching for the girl's salvation, as well as his own. In time Rebus uncovers two leads: one, a carved wooden doll stuffed tightly into a tiny casket, and the other the missing girl's possible involvement in a dark, disturbing Internet-based role-playing game. He enlists the help of the tech-savvy DC Siobhan Clarke, who is young enough to know her way around the net, but who may not be old and wise enough to avoid potentially deadly pitfalls and traps. Meanwhile, Rebus tracks down stories of similar caskets and dolls turning up in the area deep into Edinburgh's past, some stretching back to a time when body-snatchers turned into brutal killers. As Rebus and Clarke delve deeper and deeper into these perilous and obscure worlds, ancient and modern evils begin to converge and soon Rebus finds he's besieged by an impenetrable mass of secrets, lies, and deadly deceit that only he can make sense of. In The Falls, a brilliant addition to an award-winning series, both John Rebus and his creator, Ian Rankin, are at the top of their intense and satisfying form."@en
  • "Wanneer een vermiste bankiersdochter vermoord blijkt te zijn, vindt inspecteur Rebus een aanwijzing in het spel dat ze op het internet speelde."
  • "When the privileged daughter of a merchant banker disappears, a search through he e-mails uncovers her secret life--and her bizarre correspondence with an on-line game player who delights in macabre puzzles. The first game was for the girl; the next one is for Inspector Rebus."
