Resurrection Men

fullDescription

Inspector John Rebus has messed up badly this time, so badly that he's been sent to a kind of reform school for damaged cops. While there among the last-chancers known as "resurrection men," he joins a covert mission to gain evidence of a drug heist orchestrated by three of his classmates. But the group has been assigned an unsolved murder that may have resulted from Rebus's own mistake. Now Rebus can't determine if he's been set up for a fall or if his disgraced classmates are as ruthless as he suspects.
When Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke discovers that her investigation of an art dealer's murder is tied to Rebus's inquiry, the two-protege and mentor-join forces. Soon they find themselves in the midst of an even bigger scandal than they had imagined-a plot with conspirators in every corner of Scotland and deadly implications about their colleagues.
With the brilliant eye for character and place that earned him the name "the Dickens of Edinburgh," Ian Rankin delivers a page-turning novel of intricate suspense.

   • source:
   • content: Can bad cops be turned around? How far over the line must they go before they're irredeemable? Edinburgh's Inspector Rebus explores these questions while on an undercover assignment at a retraining class for bad cops. He digs up dirt on three classmates who turn out to be far more dangerous than anyone suspected. His life is threatened, as is friend and protégée Detective Siobhan Clark's. Joe Dunlop's reading gives a genuine voice to each character, down to the slightest differences in Scottish accent. His perfect pacing makes it possible to follow the intricately twist-ing plot, and his poetic cadence is sheer pleasure. Seventeen hours is a commitment, but Rankin is a master storyteller, and Dunlop brings an unusual level of intimacy to his finely tuned performance, making this time well spent. E.S.

     November 11, 2002
     Rankin's moody Inspector John Rebus, unorthodox pride of the Edinburgh police, begins this latest installment in hot water. He's been sent back to the police college for "retraining," with a group of other "resurrection men," for throwing a cup of coffee at a superior in a moment of frustration. It soon becomes clear, however, that the police brass have their own agenda for Rebus. Some of his fellow officers are suspected of being on the take, and it's his mission—should he accept it—to try to infiltrate their schemes, perhaps even encourage them. Meanwhile, a murder he and the edgy Det. Sergeant Siobhan Clarke have been investigating has turned up some curious links with an apparently Teflon crime boss Rebus has been after for years. The two cases gradually come together in Rankin's skillfully woven plotting, full of his trademark tough, oblique dialogue and sudden moments of touching warmth. The book's only drawbacks are that it seems a little overextended, and that the final bloody climax lacks something in conviction, if not in tension. This isn't one of Rankin's top efforts, but even coasting, he leaves most police procedurals at the gate. (Feb. 3)Forecast:This is the first book in a new contract with a new publisher, and Little, Brown can be expected to give it an extra push, starting with a six-city author tour. Rankin has never been the top seller here that he is at home (and in Canada), but wider attention should bring sales dividends.

     A top author in the UK, where he sells more than Stephen King or John Grisham, Rankin cooks up more trouble for Inspector John Rebus. This time, the disgraced Rebus is trying to solve a murder he unwittingly may have caused when he realizes that a protege's case may be related. The publisher hopes to break out Rankin with this title, so expect big publicity.

     September 1, 2002
     It's the perfect cover. Edinburgh Detective Inspector John Rebus, the maverick's maverick, guilty of throwing a coffee cup at his superior officer, is sent to a remedial "career counseling" course on being a better team player. But the fix is in; Rebus' real assignment is to investigate four Glasgow renegade coppers also forced to take the course. Rebus just throws cups and breaks rules; the Glaswegians may have stolen drug money. Rankin has been rightfully celebrated for his mastery of mood and character in his brooding series of "Tartan noir" procedurals. But he hasn't received enough credit for his plotting abilities. Many mystery authors run parallel plots, bringing them together in the end, but Rankin adds several layers of texture by having the plots feed off one another. Here, paralleling the career-counseling story is Rebus' unconventional, possibly illegal behavior in the resolution of an old case that is being reinvestigated as an exercise in building teamwork. Is Rebus guilty of transgressions equal to the cops he is investigating? And paralleling those stories is Rebus' colleague Siobhan Clarke's investigation of the murder of an art dealer. Rankin makes the connections between his plot strands ingeniously and subtly, adding depth not only to the story but also to the way the action reveals the souls of the characters. This installment in a truly groundbreaking series is more a straightforward procedural, less an exploration into the heart of darkness, than some of its predecessors, but it's still A-level crime writing from one of the best in the business.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2002, American Library Association.)

   • content: This is the thirteenth novel in the immensely popular Inspector Rebus series, set in Edinburgh. As a result of an infraction, Rebus is placed with a team of other erring cops, so-called "resurrection men," who are rehabilitating themselves by pursuing an old case. But do they all want it solved? Could some team members be "dirty"? Which one or ones are impeding the investigation? And why? Have they--and will they again--stoop to murder? For Americans, the BBC Radio dramatization may call for intense listening as the British accents are thick. Otherwise, the production rewards listeners with fine acting and plenty of atmosphere. Gayanne Potter steals the show as Rebus's fetching colleague, Siobhan Clarke. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
