“While HMP Edinburgh is ‘no country for old men,’ the venerable retired detective John Rebus, imprisoned for murder, must find a way to survive the ordeal.”
“a high-quality police procedural that covers off all the classic elements of the sub-genre: a team of investigators, more than one case to be followed, and careful attention to detail.”
