  • Peter Lovesey's charmingly old-fashioned sleuth is at last ready to hang up his trilby. But he has one more mystery to solve first.

The article "Against the Grain: Review - A Detective's Final Case" discusses the final investigation of Detective Inspector John Rebus, a character created by Scottish author Ian Rankin. In this latest installment, Rebus, who is now retired and battling health issues, finds himself drawn back into detective work when a former colleague, Siobhan Clarke, uncovers a suspicious death linked to a notorious Edinburgh gangster, Big Ger Cafferty. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, justice, and the personal toll of a life in law enforcement. Rebus, despite his retirement, cannot resist the pull of the case, which intertwines with his own past and the city's criminal underbelly. The review praises Rankin's ability to weave a compelling story with deep character development, highlighting Rebus's internal conflicts and his complex relationship with both the law and the criminals he has spent his career chasing. The article also notes the atmospheric depiction of Edinburgh and the realistic portrayal of police work, making it a fitting, if bittersweet, conclusion to Rebus's saga.
