RESURRECTION MEN (INSPECTOR REBUS)

Like Edinburgh inspector John Rebus, the resurrection men of the title are treading on thin ice--they''ve all been sent to a short course at the Scottish Police College because they''ve failed in some way, generally "an issue with authority." Rebus has been known to have issues of that nature before, which only boosts his credibility with the other cops in attendance, suspected by their bosses of being on the wrong side of the fence, on the take, or even guilty of murder on several previous occasions. The dour Inspector''s agenda aims to bring the higher-ups proof of the so-called Wild Bunch''s nefarious activities; in the process, his own conduct in the old case he and his college classmates must rework and revisit comes under scrutiny. A solid police procedural whose protagonist, the hero of 14 other titles in this internationally acclaimed series, continues to grow on readers who are just discovering him. --Jane Adams --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
