Story4.5 out of 5 stars 143
Inspector John Rebus has messed up badly this time, so badly that he's been sent to a kind of reform school for damaged cops. While there among the last-chancers known as "resurrection men," he joins a covert mission to gain evidence of a drug heist orchestrated by three of his classmates. But the group has been assigned an unsolved murder that may have resulted from Rebus's own mistake.

Another Tour de Force for Ian Rankin
Reviewed: 03-12-23
Having read this a decade ago, and now listening to all of the Rebus novels in sequence, Rankin’s story is as fresh as the first time, with complex, intersecting plot lines that were better the second time around and far better when the novels are experienced in sequence. The characters’ development make them all increasingly interesting and well-rounded, especially the working relationships between Rebus, Siobhan Clark, and Gill Templar. But the best, by far, is the on-going and developing relationship between Rebus and Morris Gerald (Big Ger) Cafferty which expands to new levels in Resurrection Men. Of the various readers who narrate or read Rankin’s novels, this man is the best – capable of bringing life and different shadings of voice and emotion to each of the characters in the story, not a simple task for a book that draws on so many.
