Policing habits of Rebus questioned

A Heart Full of Headstones (Inspector Rebus #24) by Ian Rankin 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Slowly the tension builds. The court opening had me puzzled. But then we go back and review the situation over the past weeks until now. Rebus has been contacted by Morris Gerald Cafferty, known as Big Ger. Cafferty calls in a favor. That favor has Rebus walking into the past, a past that strings from his time when he worked at Tynecastle. We are introduced to some old players and new, including DI Siobhan Clarke. Deceptively simple...Rebus walks his dog Brillo, wanders onto crime scenes, scopes out who’s doing what, puts things together, and comes up with answers. 

An investigation into the policing culture at Tynecastle throws up some dirty linen from the past.

As to why he’s in court? Well that would be telling.

A somewhat quirky, dark and fascinating read.
