Product Description:
It's late in the fall in Edinburgh and late in the career of Detective Inspector John Rebus. As he is simply trying to tie up some loose ends before his retirement, a new case lands on his desk: a dissident Russian poet has been murdered in what looks like a mugging gone wrong.
Rebus discovers that an elite delegation of Russian businessmen is in town, looking to expand its interests. And as Rebus's investigation gains ground, someone brutally assaults a local gangster with whom he has a long history.
Has Rebus overstepped his bounds for the last time? Only a few days shy of the end to his long, controversial career, will Rebus even make it that far?

Rating:  - Would Have Loved to Give this a Five
After twenty odd years of being a 'copper' Rebus will have to retire because he has reached retirement age.With ten days left he has one last murder to solve, which then becomes two and a mugging.The victims of the murders are a Russian Poet, a studio recording engineer (who worked with the poet) and the mugging is of Big Ger Cafferty.

Rating:  - We'll Miss the Misfit
This is the nineteenth and probably the last in Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus series because Rebus has been put out to pasture, retired. His bosses say good riddance, and the only one who seems to care what happens to him is Siobhan Clarke, Shiv, his female sidekick, who learned how to cut corners and rile supervisors from him. His arch-nemesis, the gangster Big Ger Cafferty is deeply involved in this book and by the end lies at death's door.
A Russian poet-dissident as well as an audio specialist ... Read More
Rating: - Another wonderful book by Ian Rankin, one of his best.
I have read all of Rankin's novels and this is one of the best. I only hope that Rebus did not make his exit and there are many more novels involing this brilliant policeman.
Rating: - Rankin
I've read most of Mr. Rankin's John Rebus books and this is a terrific addition.
Rating:  - Last case?
Is this Rebus' last case? Only Ian Rankin knows!
I have read or listened to all the Rebus novels and Rankins free-standing novels and was quite disappointed that this one was so dull. Endless conversational speculations about the Russian characters, the politics, and, of course, Big Ger Cafferty, Rebus' long time nemesis. But not much happens. Very little action and developments in the investigation into the poet Todorov's murder are glacially paced. The best moments come in the last two pages. ... Read More
