RESURRECTION MEN A few days into a murder inquiry following the brutal death of an Edinburgh art dealer, Rebus blows up at his superior, DCS Gill Templer, and is sent for 'retraining' - Last Chance Saloon. Rebus and a group of similar officers are given an old unsolved case to work on. It will hopefully teach them the merits of teamwork, while they are assessed. But there are those in the team who have their own secrets - secrets not unconnected to the very case they've been given - and they'll stop at nothing to protect them. A QUESTION OF BLOOD A shooting incident at a private school just north of Edinburgh. Two seventeen-year olds killed by an ex-Army loner who has gone off the rails. Ex-Army himself, Rebus becomes fascinated by the killer, and finds he is not alone. Army investigators are on the scene, and won't be shaken off. The killer had friends and enemies to spare - ranging from civic leaders to the local Goths - leaving behind a legacy of secrets and lies...FLESHMARKET CLOSE An illegal immigrant is found murdered in an Edinburgh housing scheme: a racist attack, or something else entirely? Rebus is drawn into the case.Meanwhile, Siobhan Clarke is drawn into helping the family of a missing teenager, which will mean coming dangerously close to a convicted rapist.
Then there's the small matter of the two skeletons found buried beneath a concrete cellar floor in Fleshmarket Close. The scene begins to look like an elaborate stunt - but whose, and for what purpose?
