Reviews
"As the pas de deux between now-retired Edinburgh copper John Rebus and his longtime nemesis, gangster Big Ger Cafferty, inches closer to its final act, the stakes continue to grow... The aging of maverick detectives has become a poignant theme in today's crime fiction, with Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch joining Rebus in an effort to keep solving one more case as a way of "stirring dull roots with spring rain," as Eliot puts it in "The Waste Land." Rankin captures both the heroism and the pathos of that ultimately doomed quest in this cleverly constructed and deeply moving novel."--Booklist
"Two years after his checkered hero's last outing, Rankin makes you feel the wait was worth every day, whatever comes next."--Kirkus Reviews
"S**t gets real in Rankin's latest... Another strong installment of a beloved series."--Crimereads
One of Crimereads most anticipated Fall 2022 titles
A PW Book of the Week "Outstanding. . . the well-constructed plot is matched by brooding, atmospheric prose. This is one of Rankin's best Rebus novels in years."--Publishers Weekly
"The circumstances that will end up putting Rebus 'in the dock' as a suspect will remain a secret in this review. All I can say is that it makes for some truly complex and intriguing moments and some of Ian Rankin's most intense writing in this series."--Ray Palen, BookReporter
