The seventh novel featuring Inspector John Rebus, available for the first time as an e-book and featuring an exclusive introduction by author Ian Rankin. Detective Inspector John Rebus understands that murder is usually very simple. Passion and greed are the most common motives, but when the bodies begin to pile uptwo suicides, one murder, and the mysterious death of an inmate in one of Scotland's largest prisonsRebus realizes that there's nothing simple about his latest case. What Rebus knows is that it all began with a petty embezzlement scheme. What he discovers is that beneath the killings a conspiracy is hidden, one that runs all the way to the top of the political ladder. And the cost of unraveling this complex web could be horrifyingly high. Everything he holds dearhis job, his life, even his young daughteris at stake. Powerful men are telling Rebus to "let it take its course," but none of them will reveal just what it is. Rebus stubbornly decides to go forward with his investigation no matter what the cost may be. Men have died for whatever lies at the heart of this plot, and Rebus is determined that those who have set these events in motion will not escape the punishment they deserve.

A missing girl, a double suicide and murky goings-on involving local councillors and dodgy entrepreneurs and Rebus is trying to make sense of it all, despite a distinct lack of enthusiasm from the brass. The plot got a bit too convoluted at the end for my tastes, but one doesn't really read Rankin for the plots.

This is Detective John Rebus at his most Rebus self. Forced to go lone wolf, his case reaches to the highest levels, threatening his career and possibly his life, but what else is new for this detective. I love this series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A bit of lateral thinking for #MayMovieMagic today.
#GimmeShelter is the opening track from the Rolling Stones Album ‘LET IT BLEED‘ and that is the title of the seventh book in the wonderful Rebus Series by Ian Rankin. I loved this book and gave it 5 stars.

Itchyfeetreader Wow that‘s some mental gymnastics - like your style! 5y
Andrew65 @Itchyfeetreader Thanks. If memory serves me correctly I think he said he named the book after the album. (edited) 5y

The 7th novel in the Rebus series is different &more realistic than anything before.

Rebus investigates the kidnapping of the daughter of the Lord Provost, &the suicide of an inmate after he was released from jail.

This dark tartan noir takes the reader into the back room of politics &the Silicon Glen of Scotland.

Reading this novel in the summer makes me miss the cold & snow of the winter, thanks Rankin for the shivers and freezing rain.
