It's twenty-five years since John Rebus appeared on the scene, and five years since he retired. But 2012 sees his return in STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN'S GRAVE. Not only is Rebus as stubborn and anarchic as ever, but he finds himself in trouble with Rankin's latest creation, Malcolm Fox of Edinburgh's internal affairs unit. Added to which, Rebus may be about to derail the career of his ex-colleague Siobhan Clarke, while himself being permanently derailed by mob boss and old adversary Big Ger Cafferty. But all Rebus wants to do is discover the truth about a series of seemingly unconnected disappearances stretching back to the millennium. The problem being, no one else wants to go there - and that includes Rebus's fellow officers. Not that any of that is going to stop Rebus. Not even when his own life and the careers of those around him are on the line.

I almost decided to forgo buying this book. I am a big fan of Rebus but my dislike for Malcolm Fox matched it. Thankfully and no thanks, to the impression given in the description, there is very very little of Fox's character in this book. What a great story and I can't express how happy I am that Rebus is back. If you are like me and are concerned that Fox would be interacting with Rebus throughout the book, I am here to tell you that he is not. Buy the book, black out any mention of Fox, and you will get a lot more than your moneys worth in quality writing. Thank you Rankin, I missed him.

Rebus is back, and Ian Rankin is at the top of his game. What more is there to say, except this is one you should not miss. Great characterization. Great plot. Great writing.

Welcome back Rebus and Big Ger! Malcolm Fox is a great character as are the other boys from the Complaints Department but they are nowhere near as good as Rebus and his crowd. I hope that Rankin will not "kill off" the Rebus crowd just yet!

Another Rankin Classic
Rebus came back, and a very good return it is. I enjoyed the complex plot and of course Ian's writing and storytelling style. Please, let's have more Rebus novels!

Much better than The Complaints
Standing in Another Man's Grave:
Still with Fox but much better than The Complaints; I really liked it a lot.

Come on, it's Rebus!
It may not be one of the great Rebus books, of which there are so many. But it's still a good Rebus book, on par with anything that came before Let It Bleed. Read more

Glad Rebus is back
I love Rebus. And although I read Rakin's complaints books with enthusiasm it was a real relief to see Rebus back where he should be. More please!

Some unbelievable plot elements - weak ending.
I found this Rankin mystery to have some unbelievable plot twists and was not satidfied with the ending - it seemed as if he was tired of the story and uninterested in a resolution... Read more

Always a good read
Rankin is one of the best. Buy his books as they are published just on his name alone and have never been disappointed.
