Standing in Another Man's Grave by Ian Rankin

This one was also set in Inverness and clear up to the northern coast of Scotland so there were lots of descriptions of the Scottish landscape and weather. I visited Edinburgh, Scotland in the last year, where Rankin's John Rebus detective stories are set, and it was good recognizing some of the locales. This is my 10th Ian Ranking book so I must like him. Standing in Another Man's Grave is the triumphant return of John Rebus, and a riveting story of sin, redemption, and revenge.

On the 20th anniversary of Ian Rankin's first American publication comes an audiobook bursting with the vitality and suspense that made its author one of crime fiction's most dazzling stars. Rebus may have missed the thrill of the hunt, but he's up against a powerful enemy who's got even less to lose. Unlike his skeptical colleagues, Rebus can sense a connection - but pursuing it leads him into the crosshairs of adversaries both old and new. Two more women have gone missing from the same road where Sally Hazlitt was last seen. Necessary work, but it's not exactly scratching the itch he feels to be in the heart of the action.

Now he's back as a retired civilian, reviewing abandoned files. Rebus has never shied away from lost causes - one of the many ways he managed to antagonize his bosses when he was on the force. Until she meets the newest member of the team: former Detective John Rebus. But with no sightings, no body, and no suspect, the police investigation ground to a halt long ago, and Nina's pleas to the cold case department have led her nowhere. In book 20 of the series, John Rebus returns to investigate the disappearances of three women from the same road over 10 years.įor the last decade, Nina Hazlitt has been ready to hear the worst about her daughter's disappearance.
