Summary
Summary
Longlisted for the 2021 CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger
When his daughter Samantha calls in the dead of night, John Rebus knows it’s not good news. Her husband has been missing for two days.
Rebus fears the worst – and knows from his lifetime in the police that his daughter will be the prime suspect.
He wasn’t the best father – the job always came first – but now his daughter needs him more than ever. But is he going as a father or a detective?
As he leaves at dawn to drive to the windswept coast – and a small town with big secrets – he wonders whether this might be the first time in his life where the truth is the one thing he doesn’t want to find…
A thrilling new Rebus novel about crime, punishment, and redemption, from the Edgar Award-winning "genius" of the genre (Lee Child, bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series)
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Superb…a prophetic title if ever there was one and a metaphor for Rebus’ life…A Song for the Dark Times doesn’t miss a note in showcasing Rankin’s strong storytelling.” —South Florida Sun-Sentinel
“The investigation has him contemplating the meaning of fatherhood, detection, and the nature of truth, for an emotional continuation of one of the world’s most respected series.” —CrimeReads
“Excellent…as the two plots converge, the various credible, complex backstories coalesce into a highly satisfying and unified whole. This fresh entry boasts the kind of storytelling that made Rankin famous.” —Publishers Weekly
There's no one like Ian Rankin for bringing us right into the world of detectives. For anyone who's fascinated by the inner workings of that world, and all its tricky, brutal, expert ruthlessness, In A House of Lies is a must-read. —Tana French
Loved In A House Of Lies. How does Rebus keep on getting better and better? Ian Rankin is a genius. —Lee Child
Rather Be the Devil will not disappoint - in the last 30 pages or so, Rankin delivers so many shocking but satisfying twists I felt I might have whiplash. —Tampa Bay Times
One of the best things in crime fiction for years, but Rankin kicks it up several notches here." —
