"Bible John" terrorized Glasgow in the sixties and seventies, murdering three women ?and he was never caught. Now a copycat, "Bible Johnny," is a new menace with violent ambitions. This new case would be perfect for Inspector John Rebus, but after a run-in with a crooked senior officer, he's been shunted aside to one of Edinburgh's toughest suburbs, where he investigates the murder of an off-duty oilman. His investigation takes him north to the oilrigs of Aberdeen, where he meets the ?Bible Johnny? media circus head-on. Suddenly caught in the glare of the television cameras and in the middle of more than one investigation, Rebus must proceed with caution: One mistake could mean an unpleasant and not particularly speedy death, or, worse still, losing his job.

It's late autumn in Edinburgh and late autumn in the career of Detective Inspector John 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 high-level delegation of Russian businessmen is in town, keen to bring business to Scotland. The politicians and bankers who run Edinburgh are determined that the case should be closed quickly and clinically. But the further they dig, the more Rebus and his colleague DS Siobhan Clarke become convinced that they are dealing with something more than a random attack - especially after a particularly nasty second killing. Meantime, a brutal and premeditated assault on local gangster 'Big Ger' Cafferty 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?
It's 25 years since John Rebus appeared on the scene, and 5 years since he retired. But 2012 sees his return in 'Standing in Another Man's Grave'. Not only is Rebus as stubborn and anarchic as ever, but he finds himself in trouble with Rankin's latest creation, Malcolm Fox of Edinburgh's internal affairs unit.

Al tiempo, la fiscalía reabre un caso feo de hace treinta años, en el que Rebus y su antigua cuadrilla, autodenominados los “Santos”, tuvieron mucho que ver.

The iconic Ian Rankin returns with a new Detective John Rebus novel - this year's essential must-read bestseller.
Die Familie kommt immer an erster Stelle. Sogar vor der Wahrheit ... Mitten in der Nacht erhält John Rebus einen Anruf seiner Tochter Samantha. Ihr Ehemann Keith ist verschwunden. Völlig aufgelöst bittet sie ihren Vater um Hilfe. Rebus vermutet das Schlimmste, denn aus langjähriger Polizeiarbeit weiß er: Falls Keith etwas zugestoßen sein sollte, wird der erste Verdacht auf Samantha fallen. Besorgt macht Rebus sich auf in die kleine schottische Küstenstadt Naver. Doch ein guter Polizist und ein guter Vater zu sein, gestaltet sich schwieriger als erwartet, und bald muss sich der rastlose Ermittler aus Edinburgh fragen: Könnte das der erste Fall seiner Karriere sein, bei dem die Wahrheit besser nicht ans Licht käme?
Manchmal muss man Grenzen überschreiten, um der Gerechtigkeit Genüge zu tun ... John Rebus ist angeklagt – für ein Verbrechen, das ihn für den Rest seines Lebens hinter Gitter bringen könnte. Es ist nicht das erste Mal, dass der legendäre Ermittler das Gesetz in die eigene Hand nimmt, aber es könnte das letzte Mal gewesen sein. Während Rebus vor Gericht steht, ermittelt seine alte Freundin Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke in Edinburghs brisantestem Fall seit Jahren: Ein korrupter Polizist wird vermisst. Er hatte damit gedroht, Informationen zu offenbaren, die den gesamten Polizeiapparat der Stadt in den Abgrund reißen könnten. Und auch in dieser Sache scheinen alle Wege zu Rebus zu führen ...
