Synopsis "set in darkness,an inspector rebus novel"

On the eve of the first Scottish parliament in three hundred years, Edinburgh is a city rife with political passions and expectations. Queensbury House, the home of Scotland's new rulers, falls in the middle of John Rebus' turf, keeping him busy with ceremonial tasks. That quickly changes, however, when a long-dead body is discovered in a Queensbury House fireplace, a homeless man throws himself off a bridge - leaving behind a suitcase full of cash - and an up-and-coming politician is found murdered. The links between the three deaths lead Rebus to a confrontation with one of Edinburgh's most notorious criminals, a man he thought he'd put in jail for life. Someone's going to make a lot of money out of Scotland's independence - and, as Inspector Rebus knows all too well, where there's big money at stake, darkness gathers. Set in Darkness is another chilling and intelligent crime novel from master of the genre Ian Rankin.

Ian Rankin es un novelista escocés, conocido mundialmente por su serie de novelas policíacas protagonizadas por el inspector John Rebus. Nacido en Fife en 1960 y formado en Literatura Escocesa en la Universidad de Edimburgo, inicialmente exploró una carrera académica antes de dedicar sus esfuerzos a la escritura. Sus primeros trabajos incluyeron una variedad de empleos, desde recogedor de uvas y cuidador de cerdos hasta periodista de tecnología y funcionario fiscal, experiencias que enriquecieron su perspectiva y más tarde su obra narrativa.

Su novela The Flood marcó el inicio de su carrera como autor, aunque fue Knots & Crosses (1987), el primero en la saga Rebus, lo que cimentó su reputación. El personaje de John Rebus, un detective incómodo, complejo y atormentado, ha acompañado a Rankin a lo largo de décadas, madurando junto con él. Más allá de esta serie, también ha publicado novelas independientes —como Doors Open—, relatos, obras de teatro y colaboraciones en distintos formatos narrativos.

Rankin ha sido ampliamente reconocido por su contribución al género policial y a la literatura contemporánea. Además, su trabajo ha trascendido fronteras con traducciones a múltiples idiomas, adaptaciones televisivas y una base de lectorado global que sigue fielmente sus historias ambientadas en la atmósfera oscura y evocadora de Edimburgo.
