Summary: No nonsense police work!
Comment: Rankin has a great sense of characterization. Now add to it what they say his "Razor sharp dialogue delivery", a plot mingled with superb crime writing and thoroughly believable responses from the characters.
This time it's Rebus(The acclaimed creation of Rankin) who gets into the soup, and all those who wanted to take a look in the head of the good'ol tough cop will have plenty to read on. Rankin instead of focussing on the psyche of a serial-killer or a peadophile takes his chance on Rebus and deliver the goods.
Story : Cop(Rebus) gets dentention and has his last chance to show improvement or to get kicked out of the police force. Sent to a kind of behavior school to get his screws right. Given an old case to handle with other detended cops and show teamwork.
The CATCH is the other cops(called wildbunch) are suspected of blotting their copies and Rebus has to find out the blots, however the case they(Rebus and co.) are given is an unnoticed blot of Rebus' career. So, who ends up as the guilty party - Rebus or the Wildbunch.

Summary: Inspector Rebus Makes a Welcome Return
Comment: Inspector John Rebus is always in trouble. But when he throws a tea cup at his boss, he has gone too far.
The book begins with him at Tulliallan, the Scottish Police College, where he, and several other officers who have disobeyed authority, are supposed to mend their ways. As punishment, this Wild Bunch is given an old murder case to solve.
But the problem is Rebus has ties to this case. And the ties may end his career permanently. Somehow he must solve the case without letting the others know about his involvement.
Meanwhile, his associate and friend, DS Siobhan Clarke, is investigating the death of a prominent Edinburgh art dealer who was found bludgeoned right outside his front door. Soon enough, Clarke finds that her current murder has ties to the old one Rebus is investigating and both of them are in some way related to Scottish crime lord, Morris Cafferty.
One of the great pleasures of reading an Ian Rankin mystery is in the gritty and realistic setting he uses for his novel. Edinburgh is so vividly depicted that it almost seems to be a character in this story.
Rankin is also a master at characterization and Rebus and Clarke are both fascinating individuals. The plot seems to hold less interest for Rankin and sometimes it takes several readings to figure out how he got from point A to point B. But overall this is a fine and intelligent book.

Summary: Detective John Rebus at his best!!!
Comment: Detective John Rebus goes "under" at the request of his superiors to find the "dirty cops" in this Scottish novel.
This is superb writing, you get the feel of the characters, are inside their minds editing as they speak and wondering as they do what will happen next. I have read enough mysteries that I can often guess the ending- this story was more subtle and more exciting- a great, great read...
