Summary
It's late autumn in Edinburgh and late autumn in the career of Detective Inspector Rebus. As he tries to tie up some loose ends before retirement, a murder case intrudes. A dissident Russian poet has been found dead in what looks like a mugging gone wrong. By apparent coincidence a delegation of Russian businessmen is in town - and everyone is determined that the case should be closed quickly and clinically.
But the further they dig, the more Rebus and DS Siobhan Clarke become convinced that they are dealing with something more than a random attack - especially after a particularly nasty second killing. Meanwhile a brutal and premeditated assault on a local gangster sees Rebus in the frame. Has the inspector taken a step too far in tying up those loose ends? Only a few days shy of the end to his long, inglorious career, will Rebus even make it that far?

Book 17 and still compulsive listening…
My mother used to tell me about John Rebus, I’d nod and say I’d get round to having a look at some point. A few weeks ago I had a freebie to pick so started on book one. I’ve lived alongside Rebus ever since, listening at every opportunity, even missing most of the Olympics, preferring to listen to this brilliant series, superbly read, instead. To start saying why, is to instantly be in danger of hyperbole. My favourite reads are the ones where to start reading or listening is to be instantly taken to another world, immersive and teeming with characters and life. Ian Rankin is a magician with words… you see, already I sound like a nerd who has lost the plot. Every book, so far has been a great book, this, is his best yet. With more to come in this series, I’ll stop now as I need to buy the next book now and get back to Edinburgh to find out what happens next to these characters I’ve grown to love.

The old curmudgeon hasn't lost any of his sparkle
The combination of wonderful story telling by the author and a superb reading style by MacPherson make it impossible to put my phone down. I love the irrepressible humour and intricacies of the plot. You just know that despite "retiring", Rebus is won't be gone for long.

Great Storyline
Loved the story line focusing on the Russians. Only for them to be innocent of the murders.

brilliant story, fantastic voice acting
In my opinion this is the best Rebus novel. Rankin nails the story and the voice acting is superb. James MacPherson owns the Rebus audiobooks and this is easily one if his best performances in a string of exemplary performances. This audio book is an example of when it all comes together. Brilliant stuff.

Enjoyable book
Very good book, I always enjoy the inspector Rebus books and am sad that he is retiring!
It was a good book but not excellant,
I found it very slow to begin with ,in fact I was a bit bored!
However luckily it improved in pace , and the story line improved with a typical very good ending!!
I am glad to see that he and Siobhan and old Mccaffertty will be back soon !
