Publisher Description

"He’s gone…"

 

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)

"Ian Rankin is one of the best authors of the crime novels in Europe. With his crucial characters of John Rebus and Siobhan Clarke he never fails. The complicated family story of the quickly aging retired detective is the captivating continuation to one of the most impressive literary careers in this genre. Let's only hope that there are many more chapters to add to the John Rebus' saga, cause each and every serves the readers some great experiences"
