Rebus is off the case - literally. A few days into the murder inquiry of an Edinburgh art dealer, Rebus blows up at a colleague. He is sent to the Scottish Police College for 'retraining' - in other words, he's in the Last Chance Saloon.

Rebus is assigned to an old, unsolved case, but there are those in his team who have their own secrets - and they'll stop at nothing to protect them. Rebus is also asked to act as a go-between for gangster 'Big Ger' Cafferty. And as newly promoted DS Siobhan Clarke works the case of the murdered art dealer, she is brought closer to Cafferty than she could ever have anticipated...

Possibly my favourite Rebus so far. Bigger part for DS Clarke. Brilliantly read as ever by James MacPherson.

Excellent Story

This is a multi-layered and typically knotty thriller. Disparate plot strands are woven together, crisscrossing and overlapping, and sometimes diverging. It’s an exhausting business… Rebus begins the novel in disgrace. He’s sent back to the police college for a refresher, accompanied by other dinosaurs, some of whom may be crooked. Meanwhile, an Edinburgh art dealer has been murdered. And Rebus is probing a cold case as part of his ‘retraining’ - or possibly career resurrection. It will also resurrect parts of his past he’d rather remained buried… It’s an entertaining read, though arguably the plot is rather too complicated, reminding me of the BBC’s Line of Duty cop drama - and arguably it’s a bit dull. Gangster Cafferty is a bore - but he plays a key role in proceedings, even if we don’t hear too much from him. But it’s well-crafted and will hold your attention - and the narration, as always, is on the money…

As always a fantastic read and a brilliant narration. DS Clark's character continues to add a different dimension to the plot.
