A missing private investigator is found, locked in a car hidden deep in the woods. Worse still - both for his family and the police - is that his body was in an area that had already been searched.
Everyone has secrets
Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke is part of a new inquiry, combing through the mistakes of the original case. There were always suspicions over how the investigation was handled and now - after a decade without answers - it's time for the truth.
Nobody is innocent
Every officer involved must be questioned, and it seems everyone on the case has something to hide, and everything to lose. But there is one man who knows where the trail may lead - and that it could be the end of him: John Rebus.

A cold case involving a missing private investigator threatens to unearth skeletons from Rebus's past in this "must-read" mystery (Tana French).

Former Detective John Rebus' retirement is disrupted once again when skeletal remains are identified as a private investigator who went missing over a decade earlier. The remains, found in a rusted car in the East Lothian woods, not far from Edinburgh, quickly turn into a cold case murder investigation. Rebus' old friend, Siobhan Clarke is assigned to the case, but neither of them could have predicted what buried secrets the investigation will uncover.

Rebus remembers the original case -- a shady land deal -- all too well. After the investigation stalled, the family of the missing man complained that there was a police cover-up. As Clarke and her team investigate the cold case murder, she soon learns a different side of her mentor, a side he would prefer to keep in the past.

A gripping story of corruption and consequences, this new novel demonstrates that Rankin and Rebus are still at the top of their game.

Rebus investigates a cold case that just turned red hot.

As he settles into an uneasy retirement, Rebus has given up his favorite vices. There's just one habit he can't shake: he can't let go of an unsolved case. It's the only pastime he has left and up until now, it's the only one that wasn't threatening to kill him. But when Rebus starts reexamining the facts behind the long-ago murder of a glamorous woman at a luxurious hotel - on the same night a famous rock star and his entourage where also staying there - the past comes roaring back to life with a vengeance.

And as soon as Rebus starts asking questions about the long forgotten crime, a fresh body materializes. His inquiries reunite him with his old pals-Siobhan Clarke and Malcolm Fox-as they attempt to uncover the financial chicanery behind the savage beating of an upstart gangster, a crime that suggests the notorious old school crime boss Big Ger Cafferty has taken to retirement as poorly as Rebus himself.

As he connects the mysteries of the past to the those of the present, Rebus learns - the hard way - that he's not the only one with an insatiable curiosity about what happened in that hotel room forty years ago, and that someone will stop at nothing to ensure that the crime remains ancient history.

A twisted tale of power, corruption, and bitter rivalries in the dark heart of Edinburgh, Rather Be the Devil showcases Rankin and Rebus at their unstoppable best.

"Ich wurde Krimiautor, weil ich über Edinburgh schreiben wollte, über eine Stadt mit zwei Gesichtern. Touristen sehen die Burg, die Denkmäler, die Kultur, aber nicht, was unter der Oberfläche schlummert. Ich wollte über das echte Edinburgh schreiben und machte die Stadt zu meiner Hauptfigur." Ian Rankin

Bei einem romantischen Dinner im Caledonian Hotel erinnert sich Rebus an einen Mord, der fast vierzig Jahre zuvor dort stattgefunden hat: Eine junge lebenslustige Bankiersgattin wollte in dem Luxushotel einen Liebhaber empfangen – am nächsten Morgen wurde sie tot aufgefunden. Die Verdächtigen kamen aus den besten Kreisen, der Täter wurde nie gefasst. Ein Skandal, der Rebus nicht loslässt. Während er sich in den alten Akten vergräbt, gerät das kriminelle Machtgefüge in Edinburgh gefährlich ins Wanken: Darryl Christie, einer der Hauptakteure, wird überfallen und halb totgeschlagen; eine Ermittlung wegen Geldwäsche bringt ihn zusätzlich in Bedrängnis. Es sieht so aus, als würde Ex-Gangsterboss Big "Ger" Cafferty im Hintergrund die Fäden ziehen. Eine Entwicklung, die Rebus gar nicht recht sein kann. Zumal die erste Leiche im tödlichen Revierkampf von Schottlands Unterwelt nicht lange auf sich warten lässt ...
