Publisher's Summary
Some cases never leave you.
For John Rebus, 40 years may have passed, but the death of beautiful, promiscuous Maria Turquand still preys on his mind. She was murdered in her hotel room on the night a famous rock star and his entourage were staying there, and Maria's killer has never been found.
Meanwhile, the dark heart of Edinburgh remains up for grabs. A young pretender, Darryl Christie, may have staked his claim, but a vicious attack leaves him weakened and vulnerable, and an inquiry into a major money laundering scheme threatens his position. Has old-time crime boss Big Ger Cafferty really given up the ghost, or is he biding his time until Edinburgh is once more ripe for the picking?
In a tale of twisted power, deep-rooted corruption and bitter rivalries, Rather Be the Devil showcases Rankin and Rebus at their unstoppable best.

Vintage Rebus
Wee bits of intrigue in the interwoven stories kept me listening. Well crafted as always with Rankin and beautifully read.

Rebus still the best
Held tension throughout; pure Rebus; Ian Rankin has not lost his edge; James Macpherson is a great narrator.

A slightly subtler Rebus
Ian Rankin has turned in another exceedingly readable crime novel featuring most of the "usual suspects'. It's not gripping edge of the seat stuff, but it tells a good tale and keeps the interest up until the end. Good to see the characters being developed, especially "Big Ger". The narrator does a good job of putting over a range of Scots accents without being too obvious. A must for Rebus fans.
