Midnight and Blue

Midnight and Blue is the captivating new John Rebus thriller from Ian Rankin, the iconic Number One bestselling author. This latest offering is a must-read for crime fiction enthusiasts and showcases Rankin's undeniable storytelling prowess.

John Rebus, who once dedicated his life to putting Edinburgh's most dangerous criminals behind bars, now finds himself on the other side of the law. As he navigates the treacherous world of incarceration, new allies and old enemies close in, and the line between day and night becomes increasingly blurred. Despite his legendary status, even Rebus finds it challenging to keep his wits about him.

His predicament takes a dark turn when a murder at midnight in a locked cell presents an intricate new mystery. This is a case where both prisoners and guards are suspects, each harbouring their own secrets. Stripped of his badge, authority, and safety net, Rebus walks a precarious tightrope with his life hanging in the balance.

In typical Rebus fashion, he must unravel the truth in a place where everyone has a motive and no one can be trusted. The tension mounts as he grapples with the age-old question: how do you find a killer in a place full of them?
