A series of seemingly random disappearances - stretching back to the millennium.

A mother determined to find the truth.
A retired cop desperate to get his old life back.

*

It’s been several years since John Rebus was forced to retire, and he now works as a civilian in a cold case unit and yearns to be back on the front line. So when a long-dead case bursts back to life, he can’t resist the opportunity to get his feet under the CID desk once more. But Rebus is as stubborn and anarchic as ever, and he quickly finds himself in deep with pretty much everyone, including his ex-colleague, Siobhan Clarke. Added to that, there is one person intent on barring his return to the force - Malcolm Fox of the ‘Complaints’.

All Rebus wants to do is discover the truth about a series of seemingly unconnected disappearances stretching back to the millennium. But no one else wants to go there - and that includes his fellow officers. Not that any of that is going to stop Rebus. The big question is: can he be the man he once was and still stay on the right side of the law?

It's twenty-five years since John Rebus appeared on the scene, and five years since he retired. But 2012 sees his return in STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN'S GRAVE. Not only is Rebus as stubborn and anarchic as ever, but he finds himself in trouble with Rankin's latest creation, Malcolm Fox of Edinburgh's internal affairs unit. Added to which, Rebus may be about to derail the career of his ex-colleague Siobhan Clarke, while himself being permanently derailed by mob boss and old adversary Big Ger Cafferty. But all Rebus wants to do is discover the truth about a series of seemingly unconnected disappearances stretching back to the millennium. The problem being, no one else wants to go there - and that includes Rebus's fellow officers. Not that any of that is going to stop Rebus. Not even when his own life and the careers of those around him are on the line.
