Bible John killed three women, and took three souvenirs. Johnny Bible killed to steal his namesake`s glory. Oilman Allan Mitchelson died for his principles. And convict Lenny Spaven died just to prove a point. "Bible John" terrorized Glasgow in the sixties and seventies, murdering three women he met in a local ballroom--and he was never caught. Now a copycat is at work. Nicknamed "Bible Johnny" by the media, he is a new menace with violent ambitions. The Bible Johnny case would be perfect for Inspector John Rebus, but after a run-in with a crooked senior officer, he`s been shunted aside to one of Edinburgh`s toughest suburbs, where he investigates the murder of an off-duty oilman. His investigation takes him north to the oil rigs of...

When Maxudov`s novel fails, he attempt suicide. When that fails, he dramatizes his novel. To Maxudov`s surprise - and to the resentment of literary Moscow - the play is accepted by the legendary "Independent Theatre" and Maxudov plunges into a vortex of inflated egos. Each rehearsal sees more and more sparks flying higher and higher... and less and less chance of poor Maxudov`s play ever being performed. Black Snow is the ultimate back-stage novel and a brilliant satire by the author of The Master and Margarita on his ten-year love-hate relationship with Stanislavsky, "Method-acting" and the Moscow Arts Theatre.
