Saints of the Shadow Bible (2014) is 19th in the Inspector Rebus series. More evocative Scottish intrigue.
Rebus is back on the force, albeit with a demotion and a chip on his shoulder. He is investigating a car accident when news arrives that a case from 30 years ago is being reopened. Rebus’s team from those days is suspected of helping a murderer escape justice to further their own ends.
Malcolm Fox, in what will be his last case as an internal affairs cop, is tasked with finding out the truth. …
Good. But not as good. More complicated than the plot deserved.
