Resurrection Men

Summary

Detective Inspector John Rebus is sent to a police retraining college in Scotland after throwing a mug at a superior, but his real assignment is to inform on fellow officers suspected of corruption. Rankin braids a cold case reinvestigation with internal affairs intrigue, letting Rebus work both sides while his colleague Siobhan Clarke chases a separate murder back in Edinburgh. The novel deepens the moral ambiguity at the heart of the series and shows the Scottish crime fiction master at his most layered.
