Product Information

As Gish (unusual for a female detective to be known by her surname, but that’s by the by) digs and asks the awkward questions, she delves into the complex lives of the residents of The Rise – what a can of worms she opens!

Many of the books have been adapted for television, there have been several radio productions and there’s even been a stage show version adapted by Rona Munro. Despite this being his sabbatical year, in which the plan was he would take time off writing and travel with his wife, he was committed to writing a novella, and intrigued by the chance to do something new. But it all comes together brilliantly, as only Rankin can do with his ability to incorporate current events into his books, and with his trademark dark humour. Gordon Kent knows his subject at first hand and the expertise shows on the page: high stakes, pounding tension and the best dogfights put on paper.Plot twists and surprises: The John Rebus novels are known for their intricate plots and unexpected twists.

stars for a thorough, engrossing writing that always has me scratching my head at how Rankin can weave a magic carpet out of so many loose threads. The long-running Rebus detective series books may be somewhat sporadic in recent years, yet this latest release is most welcomed nonetheless.I thought that was it, but it seems there is still enough bluster and doggedness in John Rebus for the series to continue.
