Detective Series This Book Next Book All Authors All Books Ian Rankin Bibliography Book Marks Author Info John Rebus - Detective Inspector, Edinburgh, Scotland, dubbed "Tartan Noir" "Resurrection Men" Scotsman Ian Rankin is the top best-selling mystery writer in the United Kingdom. Sales of his books alone account for 10% of the entire British crime market. All this is for a reason, aptly demonstrated by Rankin's latest outing, Resurrection Men This book is number thirteen in the Detective Inspector Rebus series. It takes as its lead character the hard drinking, rough-around-the-edges Edinburgh policeman John Rebus. Rebus' modus operandi is doing things on his own and his own way, and, needless to say, he is proud of it. He is well known for his insubordination. In fact, as the book begins, Rebus has been suspended as punishment for throwing a full mug of tea at his commanding officer, Chief Super Templer. He is being shipped off to the Police College. The hope is that as a result of intensive "retraining," he will regain a greater respect for teamwork, discipline, and authority. | |
