For more than ten years, Nina Hazlitt has been ready to hear the worst about her daughters disappearance. But with no sightings, no body, and no suspect, the police investigation ground to a halt long ago, and Ritas pleas to the cold case department have led her nowhere. Until she meets the newest member of the team: former Detective John Rebus. Rebus has never shied away from lost causes - one of the many ways he managed to antagonize his bosses when he was on the force. Now hes back as a retired civilian, reviewing abandoned files. Necessary work, but its not exactly scratching the itch he feels to be in the heart of the action. Two more women have gone missing from the same road where Sally Hazlitt was last seen. Unlike his skeptical colleagues, Rebus can sense a connection - but pursuing it leads him into the crosshairs of adversaries both old and new. His ambitious boss doesnt want him to rock the boat, his old foe Big Ger Cafferty is threatening to resurface, his friend Siobhan Clarke sees him as a career liability, and hes drawn the ire of the man who could pose the biggest threat of all: Malcolm Fox of Edinburghs internal affairs unit. Rebus may have missed the thrill of the hunt, but hes up against a powerful enemy whos got even less to lose. On the twentieth anniversary of Ian Rankins first American publication comes a novel bursting with the vitality and suspense that made its author one of crime fictions most dazzling stars. STANDING IN ANOTHER MANS GRAVE is the triumphant return of John Rebus, and a riveting story of sin, redemption, and revenge.
