Dead Souls: An Inspector Rebus Novel (Inspector Rebus series Book 10)

Weary, wary, hard-drinking Det. John Rebus is back in #1 bestselling author Ian Rankin's internationally acclaimed, award-winning series: Dead Souls is "crime writing of the highest order" (Daily Express).As complex and unpredictable as the brooding mists that envelop his Edinburgh beat, Rebus is ever resourceful and determined—but this time, vulnerable and challenged as never before, with complications in his personal life and events that shake him to the depths of his being. . . .A colleague's suicide. Pedophiles. A missing child. A serial killer. You never know your luck, muses Rebus. Driven by instinct and experience, he searches for connections, against official skepticism. But at night, unsoothed by whiskey, Rebus faces his ghosts—and the prospect of his daughter's possibly permanent paralysis. Soldiering through dank, desperate slums and the tony flats of the Scottish chic, Rebus uncovers a chain of crime, deceit, and hidden sins—knowing it's himself he's really trying to save. . . .Praise for Ian Rankin, Dead Souls, and the Inspector Rebus novels"Reading [Ian Rankin] is like watching somebody juggle a dozen bottles of single malt without spilling a single drop." —KirkusReviews"Ian Rankin is up there among the best crime novelists at work today." —Michael Connelly"Ian Rankin is a genius." —Lee Child"In Rankin, you cannot go wrong." —The Boston Globe"A superior series." —The New York Times Book Review Read more
