I can't get enough of Ian Rankin's John Rebus, currently a Detective Sergeant with the Scotland CID. To learn how Rebus moved up in the ranks, and back down to DS, you'll need to read Rankin's Rebus tales in order. That said, this is not a series and Saints or the Shadow Bible can be fully enjoyed as a stand-alone gritty police procedural.
Rebus, rebel detective, once again skates the line of propriety in solving a decades-old murder involving his old colleagues from his first post at Summerhall police station. Rankin masterfully weaves the past with the present, having Rebus solve not one but four crimes with an intricate series of clues, intuition and pure luck.
