About this title

Synopsis

It's late autumn in Edinburgh and late in the career of Detective Inspector John Rebus. As he ties up some loose ends before his retirement, a new case lands on his desk: a dissident Russian poet has been found in the street, beaten to death. At first it looks like another mugging gone wrong, but when Rebus starts probing, he realizes his final days will not be spent reminiscing.
By what Rebus suspects is no small coincidence, an elite delegation of Russian businessmen is in town, looking to invest in Scotland and expand its interests. Edinburgh's politicians and bankers want the case quietly closed, but the deeper Rebus and Detective Siobhan Clarke dig, the more convinced they become that they're dealing with more than a random attack. When a mysterious fire claims a witness to the poet's murder, Rebus finds himself with even more questions - and even fewer days. As the political pressure mounts and his options dwindle, Rebus encounters another crime: a local gangster with whom he has a long history has been brutally assaulted.
Only a few days shy of the end of his long, fabled career, has Rebus's well-worn luck run out? Will his last murder case remain unsolved? Exit Music marks the final outing for the legendary Inspector John Rebus, and it proves that Ian Rankin has saved the very best for last.
