About this listen

THE BRAND NEW REBUS THRILLER FROM THE ICONIC NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. ONE OF THE MUST-LSTEN INOVELS OF THE YEAR.

'I loved it - Rebus is one of fiction's greatest creations' MARIAN KEYES

John Rebus stands accused: the once legendary detective is on trial, facing the rest of his life behind bars.

How does a hero turn villain?
Or have times changed, and the rules with them?

Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke tackles Edinburgh's most explosive case in years, as a corrupt cop harbouring huge secrets goes missing.

But is her loyalty to the police or the public? And who can she trust when nobody is truly innocent - including her former mentor Rebus - and a killer walks among them?

As the time comes to choose sides, it becomes clear: after a lifetime of lies, the truth will break your heart...

James McPherson at his very best weaves a thrilling tale from start to finish. What a tour de force Rebus has been with a new book out shortly. Good times.

What a ending!

I loved it! I thought this was one of the best Rebus stories for a few years and once again it is superbly read by James Macpherson. On one hand I couldn’t stop listening but on the other hand I didn’t want it to end. I am so glad Ian Rankin has not completely retired Rebus

Absolutely Terrific
