John Rebus had been in court plenty of times, but this was his
first time in the dock.
John Rebus stands accused: on trial for a crime that could put
him behind bars for the rest of his life. Although it?s not the
first time the legendary detective has taken the law into his own
hands, it might be the last.
What drove a good man to cross the line? Or have times changed,
and the rules with them?
Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke faces Edinburgh's most
explosive case in years, as a corrupt cop goes missing after
claiming to harbour secrets that could sink the city's police
force. But in this investigation, it seems all roads lead to
Rebus - and Clarke's twin loyalties to the public and the police
will be tested to their limit.
