In Ian Rankin's latest novel,
Rather Be the Devil, Rebus doesn’t like retirement so much, as he’s had to give up most of his vices. Except, that is, for doggedly pursuing closed cases. Long ago, a glamorous woman was murdered at a posh hotel on the same night a world-famous rocker was there. No sooner does Rebus start inquiring than another body turns up and now retirement isn’t looking so bad.
