A new investigation threatens to unearth skeletons from
Rebus's past in this "must-read" (Tana French)
mystery.
Rebus' retirement is disrupted once
again when skeletal remains are identified as a private
investigator who went missing over a decade earlier. The
remains, found in a rusted car in the East Lothian woods,
not far from Edinburgh, quickly turn into a cold case murder
investigation. Rebus' old friend, Siobhan Clarke is
assigned to the case, but neither of them could have
predicted what buried secrets the investigation will
uncover.
Rebus remembers the original case--a shady
land deal--all too well. After the investigation stalled,
the family of the missing man complained that there was a
police cover-up. As Clarke and her team investigate the cold
case murder, she soon learns a different side of her mentor,
a side he would prefer to keep in the past.
A
gripping story of corruption and consequences, this new
novel demonstrates that Rankin and Rebus are still at the
top of their game.
