Resurrection Men: An Inspector Rebus Novel
Like Edinburgh inspector John Rebus, the resurrection men of the title  are treading on thin ice--they've all been sent to a short course at the  Scottish Police College because they've failed in some way, generally "an issue  with authority." Rebus has been known to have issues of that nature before,  which only boosts his credibility with the other cops in attendance, suspected  by their bosses of being on the wrong side of the fence, on the take, or even  guilty of murder on several previous occasions. The dour Inspector's agenda aims  to bring the higher-ups proof of the so-called Wild Bunch's nefarious  activities; in the process, his own conduct in the old case he and his college  classmates must rework and revisit comes under scrutiny. A solid police  procedural whose protagonist, the hero of 14 other titles in thisinternationally acclaimed  series, continues to grow on readers who are just discovering him.--Jane  Adams
