There is no detective like DI Rebus – brilliant, irascible and endlessly frustrating both to his friends and his long-suffering bosses. For over two decades he has walked through the dark places of Edinburgh . . .

Now Rebus’s life is revealed through this complete collection of stories, from his early days as a young DC in ‘Dead and Buried’ right up to the dramatic, but not quite final, retirement in ‘The Very Last Drop’.

This is the ultimate Ian Rankin treasure trove – a must for aficionados as well as a superb introduction to anyone looking to experience DI John Rebus, and the dark and twist-filled crimes he has to investigate, for the very first time.

Read by James MacPherson, featuring a preface and ‘Rankin on Rebus’ read by Ian Rankin.

Reviews

"A dangerous book to have on your bedside table - you just want to keep reading on and on into the wee small hours of the night - and a dangerous book to lend: make sure you get it back."
CORNFLOWER BOOKS
'These murky tales exploring the deep recesses of the criminal psyche are well worth a read.'
DAILY EXPRESS
"An enjoyable collection, frequently displaying the playfulness that is characteristic of the author"
INDEPENDENT
"Rebus is genuinely fun to read no matter how dark his cases become... a deeply satisfying read and evokes the spirit of Edinburgh and Scotland in all its glory."
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
In this bumper volume he [Rankin] has collected all his Rebus short stories and the results are an undisputed delight... We witness Rebus in his early days as well as the later burdened-by-life incarnation and these vignettes with both new adventures and insights into existing cases with a new perspective, broaden our appreciation of the iconic Edinburgh cop.
Maxim Jakubowski, LOVE READING
"They are neat, pleasing, inventive... well made, a pleasure to read, one after the other, the work of a practiced and professional craftsman."
SCOTSMAN
"Excellently crafted short stories."
TIMES
An essential volume for Rebus fans.
