The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor.
At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. "Landlord, is this what you meant by 'the house can be a little crowded at night'‽"

The plot of 'House of Lies' involves complex characters and a web of deception. It typically follows the investigation of some sort of mystery, perhaps related to lies within a particular social or professional setting. However, without having read it in great detail, it's hard to give a full summary.
Since I haven't read the 'House of Lies' novel by Ian Rankin, I can't name the specific main characters. However, knowing Rankin's style, there might be a strong - willed protagonist, perhaps someone who is an outsider in the world of lies the story is set in. There could also be antagonists who are trying to keep the lies intact and protect their own interests.
One of the highly regarded Ian Rankin Rebus novels is 'Black and Blue'. It has a complex plot that delves deep into the seedy underbelly of Edinburgh. The character of Rebus is at his best in this novel, with his dogged detective work and his flawed but endearing personality. The story is filled with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged from start to finish.
The most recent Ian Rankin Rebus novel that I know of is 'A Heart Full of Headstones'. It continues the story of Rebus, with his complex character and the gritty Edinburgh setting that Rankin is so good at portraying. There are all the elements fans love - the mystery, the moral dilemmas, and Rebus's unique take on the cases he's involved in.
Ian Rankin's first novel is 'The Flood'. It introduced his writing style which often features complex characters and gritty settings. His work is known for exploring the darker side of human nature and society, and this first novel was a start of his journey in crime fiction writing.
I'm not entirely sure which one is his absolute latest, but 'A Heart Full of Headstones' is one of his more recent novels. It might deal with themes like redemption, the passage of time, and the never - ending battle against crime. If you like his previous works, this one is probably worth checking out as it should have the same engaging writing style and in - depth character exploration.
One of the highly regarded Ian Rankin novels is 'Black and Blue'. It has a complex and engaging plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The characters are well - developed, especially Rebus, who is a very interesting and multi - faceted detective.
One of his highly regarded novels is 'Black and Blue'. It has a complex plot with a great sense of place in Edinburgh. The detective Rebus is on the hunt for a serial killer, and Rankin weaves together multiple storylines in a really engaging way.
