Bones aren’t the only thing that gets dug up during their investigation: as Rebus and Clarke search for clues, long-buried secrets will be revealed. The skeletal remains of a private investigator who went missing a decade before have been found, stirring up old memories for Rebus and his former coworker, Siobhan Clarke. And the newest book, In a House of Lies, would make another great one! In it, Rebus is retired-but not for long.

So far, ten of the Rebus novels have been made into television movies. He’s gruff and disheveled, but his messy exterior and bad habits hide a keen mind and (mostly) benevolent nature. Rebus once served in Britain’s elite SAS and later became an Edinburgh cop. John Rebus first appeared in Knots and Crosses in 1987.
