JOHN REBUS SPENT HIS LIFE AS A DETECTIVE PUTTING EDINBURGH'S MOST DEADLY CRIMINALS BEHIND BARS.

NOW, HE'S JOINED THEM.

As new allies and old enemies circle, and the days and nights bleed into each other, even the legendary detective struggles to keep his head.

That is, until a murder at midnight in a locked cell presents a new mystery. They say old habits die hard...

However, this is a case where the prisoners and the guards are all suspects, and everyone has something to hide.

With no badge, no authority and no safety net, Rebus walks a tightrope - with his life on the line.

But how do you find a killer in a place full of them?

PRAISE FOR MIDNIGHT AND BLUE:

'Unforgettable ... Proves that Rebus is one of the most remarkable characters in crime fiction.'
DAILY MAIL

'With every novel, Rankin leaves us wanting more. Midnight and Blue is no exception. As Rebus ages, he becomes ever more human, ever more relatable, and the books become even better... This is unmissable.'
MICK HERRON, the Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

'Midnight & Blue is a triumph. Rebus as you've never seen him before and Rankin at his best.'
ELLY GRIFFITHS, the Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

'A taut, claustrophobic thriller, that puts a Golden Age twist on a modern-day tale. The perfect book to keep Rebus fans clanging their tin cups against the prison bars, until the riot kicks off...'
STUART MACBRIDE, the Sunday Times Number One Bestseller

'Kept me up reading until long after midnight. Blew me away. Absolutely brilliant, as always.'
JILL MANSELL, the Sunday Times Bestseller

'Loved this tense, pacy thriller, jam-packed with action but also a surprising vulnerability.'
B. A. PARIS, the Sunday Times Bestseller

Very cleverly written. I enjoyed this different take on rebus who tries to solve a murder but works with not just the police but also the prisoners and prison officer. A very interesting take on how manages with a target on his back. With all the usual characters were used to some liked and some not. Fantastic ending and can't wait see what next.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Ian Rankin excellent Thriller

I'm straight into this and gripped from the very first page, I love Rebus!

3.0 out of 5 stars Midnight & Blue

E.A. · 13 October 2024

Enjoyed it but not as much as I thought I would. I feel the story simmered along, not quite reaching boiling point...I was waiting for it but it never happened. It all became quite predictable. More like Agatha Christie than the Rebus we are all used to
