About the Book

It's every parent's nightmare: a fifteen-year old girl has disappeared. She was last seen hitchhiking along a scenic highway in rural Scotland, and the only other clue is a photograph sent from her phone. Two detectives, one of them retired, are working the case when they learn that there may be other victims out there, stretching back a decade and more. The road itself may provide them with answers, but a complicated case is only made worse by interference from conflicting witnesses, the police department's own internal affairs division-and the ominous attentions of the missing girl's gangster stepfather. On the twentieth anniversary of Ian Rankin's first American publication comes an audiobook that proves why he is one of crime fiction's most enduring and bestselling authors-a riveting story of sin, redemption, and revenge.

About the Author :
Ian Rankin is an award-winning crime writer best known for his Inspector Rebus novels, including the New York Times bestsellers Rather Be the Devil and Even Dogs in the Wild. He is a winner of the Edgar Award and the Crime Writers of America's Gold Dagger Award, among others, and was the recipient of a Raymond Chandler Fulbright Fellowship. James MacPherson, an Earphones Award-winning narrator, is a Scottish actor best known for his role as Detective Michael Jardine in the STV drama Taggart, as well as his portrayal of Hugh Hamilton in BBC Radio 4's hit drama series Citizens.

Review :
Ambiguity has never tasted so bittersweet. A gutsy experiment on Rankin's part and a completely successful one. -- "Booklist" An impeccably crafted whodunit. -- "Sunday Times (London)" Fans of this landmark series, now in its twenty-fifth year, will cry 'Hosannah!' at Rebus' triumphal return...As Arthur Conan Doyle might attest, it's bloody hard to keep a good detective down. -- "Library Journal (starred review)" MacPherson rolls easily through...multi-syllabic Scottish place names, reminding the listener of the poetic background of the country. He also rolls a few 'r's' for a couple of growling Edinburgh mobsters and employs a slightly gruff but bantering tone to remind the listener that Rebus is still a mischievous and alcoholic throwback of a cop. -- "AudioFile" Pour yourself a celebratory Highland Park, because Rebus is back...Another irresistibly dreary tale. -- "Entertainment Weekly" Praise the lord, John Rebus is knee-deep in trouble again. To the dismay of many crime-novel fans, the Edinburgh detective retired in Rankin's 2009 Exit Music...One of the most dogged detectives to walk the earth, not just the Highlands, where much of this novel takes place, Rebus (with Rankin working his story line) is as incomparable as ever. -- "USA Today" Rankin deserves every award he's been given: an Edgar, a Gold Dagger, a Diamond Dagger. Surely there's another one waiting for Rebus' thrilling return to the fold. -- "Kirkus Reviews" Rebus has returned...and it's a treat to welcome him back. -- "Times (London)" Rebus is without doubt one of the funniest among the classical fictional detectives, and his ninteenth case features some fine one-liners... Standing in Another Man's Grave is Rankin's most interesting book politically... Cheeringly, it seems clear from the final pages that there will be more Rebus books to chart the next stage in Scotland's story. -- "Guardian (London)" Suspenseful [and] atmospheric. -- "Wall Street Journal"
