The Beat Goes On: The Complete Rebus Stories

The Beat Goes On collects all of Ian Rankin's Rebus short stories for the first time, including two never-before published tales written specifically for this collection. The stories follow Detective Inspector John Rebus from his early days as a young Detective Constable in Dead and Buried through to his retirement in The Very Last Drop. Brilliant and irascible, Rebus has worked in Edinburgh for over two decades. In these short stories, he investigates cases including a student death, the murder of a woman caught in a love triangle, a jewel heist, suspicious activity at a nursing home, and an email that exposes a family's secrets. The collection spans Rebus's career as one of crime fiction's most compelling characters.
