Good condition

Retired but restless, Inspector John Rebus is forced to confront his past when his daughter calls, distraught over her missing partner, Keith. Rebus drives north to a remote coastal village where he uncovers secrets tied to a forgotten World War II internment camp and tensions simmer beneath the community. Meanwhile, back in Edinburgh, DCI Siobhan Clarke and Malcolm Fox investigate the murder of a Saudi student, uncovering links to elite social circles and Brexit‑era xenophobia. Rebus’s old London contact “Big Ger” Cafferty returns in a dark subplot involving surveillance and blackmail, pulling Rebus further into the city’s orbit. As separate investigations converge, Rebus must choose: act as a father trying to save his child—or as a detective determined to uphold justice in dark times.
