Plot summary
A student vanishes in Edinburgh and her wealthy family of bankers ensure Detective Inspector John Rebus is under pressure to find her. A carved wooden doll in a coffin found near her East Lothian home leads Rebus to an Internet role-playing game in which she was involved. DC Siobhan Clarke tackles the virtual quizmaster, and thus risks the same fate as the missing girl.
