Rather Be the Devil (Inspector Rebus, book 21) by Ian Rankin A recent editorial in the Oldie bemoaned the fact that this book heralds a turning point for John Rebus that Philip Marlowe would never have countenanced — his giving up smoking. The full horror is made explicit in the painful opening chapter when Rebus, seven days off the fags Rather be the Devil screaming inside for one last, lingering Rather be the Devil with his smoky siren, receives instead a specimen jar containing a diseased lung from his pathologist girlfriend Deborah Quant. She is unaware of the Rather be the Devil he is waiting on after an x-ray that he refers to, with typical morbid wit, as Hank Marvin. The three former colleagues form an uneasy alliance, which events rapidly strengthen. A smug Big Ger offers Rebus cryptic clues. Rankin has spent nearly three decades in the company of Rebus, about 10 years longer than Chandler with Marlowe, and this relationship shows no sign of medical emergency. That would be telling.

John Rebus is a favourite of mine, and when this book became available, I snapped it up. There is a strong element of comfort Rather be the Devil me now that we are on his 21st outing. This is one hell of a thrill ride of a novel Rebus is retired but we all know that is not going to stop him nosing around in John Rebus is a favourite of mine, and when this book became available, I snapped it up. Rebus is retired but we all know that is not going to stop him nosing around in matters that are none of his concern. DI Siobhan Clarke brings the cold case files to Rebus, and he delves into the case. He is also plagued by serious medical concerns, which he refers, with mordant humour, as Hank Rather be the Devil. Meanwhile, there is turbulence within Edinburgh's criminal fraternity, and Big Ger Cafferty can be found right in the middle of it. Rebus meets a number of people associated with the Marie Turquand case. Then the head of a police case review, ex-cop Robert Chatham, is fished out of Rather be the Devil Leith after talking to Rebus. It seems there are dangerous forces out there that do not want the case opened. DI Malcolm Fox finds himself back in the city working with Siobhan after a serious assault on Darryl Christie, local crime boss and entrepreneur. Christie has links with a missing man who sets up shell companies for his clients so they can squirrel away money in tax havens. Malcolm's sister, Jude, brings trouble to his doorstep which has him worried. Cafferty is taking a close interest in the assault on Christie which eventually brings Rebus and the police to his door. This is a violent and bloody trail that takes in a brutal and dangerous Ukrainian mobster, betrayal, corruption, greed, bitter rivalries and a number of twists. As ever, there is a great sense of location in Edinburgh in the novel which I loved. This is a superbly constructed and well written book with masses of atmosphere. I liked the character development that has given way to Rebus, Rather be the Devil and Fox now getting on so well and providing support to each other. They work with each other in a remarkably productive way to get to the truth. Given that Rather be the Devil series has run for so long, it still has the capacity to surprise, Rather be the Devil be an utterly compelling and gripping read. It is to the author's credit that this series is still going so strong. A book which I highly recommend. Many thanks to Orion for an ARC. View all 28 comments.

That's exactly what I have to do. You put those slippers on, get comfy in your favourite Rather be the Devil, and with feet up, the world just fades away. That's Rather be the Devil I feel about John Rebus, I start reading and the world can take a back seat.

Rebus is a couple of years into his retiremen I doubt whether Ian Rankin would like me comparing his new novel to a comfy pair of old slippers but sorry! Rebus is a couple of years into his retirement now, but he's not gonna let a little thing like that interfere with his investigations.

A retired cop desperate Standing in Another Mans Grave get his old life back It's been some time since Rebus was forced to retire, and he now works as a civilian in a cold-case unit. So when a long-dead case bursts back to life, he can't resist the opportunity to get his feet under the CID desk once more. But Rebus is as stubborn and anarchic as ever, and he quickly finds himself in deep with pretty much everyone, including DI Siobhan Clarke. All Rebus wants to do is uncover the truth.

When Nina Hazlitt shows up at Rebus's office, she tells him about her missing daughter, Sally, who disappeared on the A9 roadway in Though Rebus is initially skeptical, Hazlitt's persistence slowly pays off.

  • Time and Detective Novels: Exploring the Past and the Night in Ian Rankin’S John Rebus Series
    Time and detective novels: exploring the past and the night in Ian Rankin’s John Rebus series Ian R. Cook, Northumbria University Accepted pre-proof version, forthcoming in Clues (2022) Abstract Given that time is an important theme within detective novels, this article explores the portrayal of time in Ian Rankin’s John Rebus series. The analysis concentrates on two important temporal dimensions: the past and the night. Introducing time Time has a mysterious omnipresence; on the one hand, it is ‘intangible, invisible, colourless, odourless, soundless’ (West-Pavlov, 4) and on the other, it is situated everywhere and permeates everything (Adam, “Time”). Confusing yet intriguing, time is an issue that many academics and novelists have reflected on in their work. The Scottish crime novelist Ian Rankin is a noteworthy example as he regularly uses his detective novels featuring John Rebus to critically examine various aspects of time. This article, therefore, explores the portrayal of time within the Rebus series and detective novels more widely. It concentrates on two dimensions of time that run through many detective novels: the past and the night. Before turning to Rankin and Rebus, it is useful to outline a brief conceptual framework through which we can view time in the detective novel. It has two dimensions to it, the first is a focus on temporality – in other words, the social production and social experience of time. Here, time is viewed as something made and re-made, constructed and manipulated (Burnett et al.), and not ‘an innate backdrop to social life’ (Cloke et al., 941). This perspective is useful because it guides us to the ways in which people/authors/characters experience and manage time, how they infuse time with meaning, how they favour certain times over others, and how time is struggled over and contested.

Hugely influential when frst published in China twenty-fve years ago, its direct and emotionally honest examination of the female experience gave a voice to fiction women silenced by generations of repression. Born in a small town in rural China during the turbulent 1950s, Duomi Lin is left alone through much of her childhood and adolescence, discovering her sexuality at a young age and developing an obsession with death and childbirth. Almost friendless, with a dead father and emotionally distant mother, Duomi escapes into dreams and then into writing. Cast adrift, Duomi wanders China searching for meaning in her life. Writing remains her only constant. It is only once the Cultural Revolution ends that Duomi is able to start a new existence as a scriptwriter.
