The Naming of the Dead (Inspector Rebus, Book 16) by Rankin, Ian. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780316018869.

The leaders of the free world descend on Scotland for an international conference, and every cop in the country is needed for front-line duty...except one. John Rebuss reputation precedes him, and his bosses dont want him anywhere near Presidents Bush and Putin, which explains why hes manning an abandoned police station when a call comes in. During a preconference dinner at Edinburgh Castle, a delegate has fallen to his death. Accident, suicide, or something altogether more sinister? And is it linked to a grisly find close to the site of the gathering? Are the worlds most powerful men at risk from a killer? While the government and secret services attempt to hush the whole thing up, Rebus knows he has only seventy-two hours to find the answers.
