Framed, in an opening and final chapter by Rebus, on trial for murder. The middle of the book is a typical Rebus story (he is now retired, but still of course involved) featuring Siobhan Clarke, Malcolm Fox, and of course Cafferty, now in a penthouse suite and in a wheelchair, and principally about corruption in an Edinburgh police station.
Difficult to see how this could relate to the murder charge, and you will have to wait until the end of the middle part to find out.
Good, as ever, but it felt a bit repetitive as if Rankin was treading water and churning out another Rebus story.
