Set in Darkness: An Inspector Rebus Novel (Inspector Rebus series Book 11)

Set in Darkness is the eleventh Inspector Rebus novel by Ian Rankin. On the eve of Scotland's first parliament in three hundred years, Edinburgh is filled with political tension and anticipation. Queensbury House, home of Scotland's new government, sits within Inspector John Rebus's jurisdiction, initially keeping him occupied with ceremonial duties. This changes when three deaths occur: a long-dead body is found in a Queensbury House fireplace, a homeless man jumps from a bridge leaving behind a suitcase of cash, and an up-and-coming politician is murdered. As Rebus investigates the connections between these deaths, he confronts one of Edinburgh's most notorious criminals—a man he believed he had imprisoned for life. With significant money to be made from Scotland's independence, Rebus recognizes that darkness gathers wherever large sums are at stake.
