Death Is Not The End

A short story featuring Inspector Rebus Damon Mee was last seen in a blurred security video on the dance floor of a Kirkcaldy nightclub. It was a routine missing-persons case and wasn't even on his patch, but Inspector John Rebus said he'd look into it as a favour to the boy's father, a friend from his school days. The investigation leads to the club's greasy owner, to a slightly bent casino croupier, to a drop-dead blonde and, finally, to the shadowy men who call the shots in Edinburgh's underworld. When it's over, Rebus has repaid a long overdue debt and his boss has received an unexpected but very welcome birthday present.
