Strip Jack
A police raid on an Edinburgh brothel captures (seemingly by accident) popular young local MP Gregor Jack. When Jack’s fiery wife Elizabeth disappears, and two bodies are found, suspicion falls on a famous local actor Rab Kinnoul. Rebus interviews a member of the Jacks’ social circle, Andrew MacMillan, who is locked up in a psychiatric hospital after murdering his wife many years earlier. It becomes increasingly evident that somebody has ‘set up’ Jack, with the intention of stripping him of his good name, political standing and maybe even his life.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2010.
