Ian Rankin

New York Times bestselling author Ian Rankin returns to his legendary detective--it's not the first time Rebus has taken the law into his own hands, though it may be the last. John Rebus stands accused: on trial for a crime that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life. But what drove a good man to cross the line? Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke may well find out. Clarke is tasked with the city's most explosive case in years, an infamous cop, at the center of decades of misconduct, has gone missing. Finding him will expose not only her superiors, but her mentor John Rebus. And Rebus himself may not have her own interests at heart, as the repayment of a past debt places him in the crosshairs of both crime lords and his police brethren. One way or another, a reckoning is coming - and John Rebus may be hearing the call for last orders...

Kun menneisyys alkaa kummitella, totuus paljastuu. Ja se uhkaa haudata John Rebusin. John Rebus on eläkepäivillään syytettyjen penkillä: leivättömän pöydän ääressä rikoksesta, joka voi viedä hänet telkien taakse loppuelämäksi. Kerta ei ole ensimmäinen, kun legendaarinen etsivä on ottanut lain omiin käsiinsä, mutta se saattaa olla viimeinen. Mutta mikä sai kunnon miehen ylittämään rajan? Rikoskomisario Siobhan Clarke voi hyvinkin saada sen selville. Clarke saa tutkittavakseen Edinburghin räjähdysaltteimman tapauksen, kun vuosikymmeniä kestäneiden väärinkäytösten ytimessä ollut pahamaineinen poliisi on kadonnut. Poliisin löytyminen on uhka paitsi Clarken esimiehille myös hänen mentorilleen John Rebusille. Eikä Rebus ehkä jaksa kallistaa korvaansa Clarken huolille, koska menneisyyden velkojen takaisinmaksu tekee hänestä sekä rikollispomojen että omien virkaveljiensä maalitaulun. On tilinteon aika - ja John Rebusille se saattaa tarkoittaa lopullista valomerkkiä...

Ny Rebus-krimi! John Rebus er anklaget for en forbrydelse, og han kan ende i spjældet på livstid. Men blev han faktisk drevet til at krydse grænsen? Rebus har før taget loven i sine egne hænder, men det her ser ud til at blive den sidste. Har spillereglerne ændret sig? Samtidig står Siobhan Clarke over for den mest eksplosive sag i årevis. En korrupt betjent er forsvundet og med ham de beviser, som kan vælte hele byens politistyrke. Alle spor peger på Rebus, og Clarke er splittet. Der er et opgør på vej, og det ser ud, som om det er Rebus, der bliver gjort op med. Det skrev pressen om ‘En sang til dystre tider’:"Igen skriver Rankin i et elegant, glidende sprog med både et rask behageligt tempo og en konkret og kompliceret sandsynlighed. Sat op på gnistrende møder med de implicerede mistænkte, som så at sige hver især får en scene i plot og drama, som til sidst skaber en sørgmunter og spændende helhed."? ? ? ? ?

Lawyer Bobby Carter did a lot of work for the wrong kind of people. When his body is found in an alley behind a pub that is known to be under the protective wing of a local crime boss, the fragile equilibrium that has been keeping Glasgow relatively safe for months is shattered. Besides a distraught family and any number of powerful friends, Carter has left behind his fair share of enemies. So who is responsible for his death? DC Jack Laidlaw's reputation precedes him.
