A Heart Full Of Headstones

Ian Rankin Orion £22

John Rebus may be retired now, but he’s still got a knack for finding trouble. When a corrupt cop is murdered, it looks as if the sins of the past are likely to come back to bite a whole lot of his former colleagues, Rebus among them. This is as complex and twisty a murder mystery as Rankin has ever constructed, complete with a truly startling dénouement. Regular readers won’t want to miss this one, especially as it seems the long-running series might finally be drawing to a close.
