O knihe

Rebus hasn't changed; he's as sharp, petty, curmudgeonly and likeable as ever' Irish Sunday Independent

'Rebus was eating breakfast in the canteen and wishing there was more caffeine in the coffee, or more coffee in the coffee come to that...'

John Rebus is not only a first-rate (if rather unorthodox) detective - he is also master of the one liner, the put down, the biting retort:

'When God made Edinburgh, he made it to be cold and damp with the occasional day of watery sunshine'

And even when out of the force, he's still as sharp as ever:

'You'd be acting in a consultative capacity.'
'Like Sherlock Holmes? Would I need invoices & stuff ? And a housekeeper and a sidekick ?'

Now, for the first time, enjoy the very best from the world's favourite detective, in a beautiful gift edition.

'He tried to arrange a neighbourly smile on his face as he opened the door, but the actor in him had left for the evening'

'Rebus is without doubt one of the funniest among the classical fictional detectives' Guardian
