The Rebus books are a series of crime novels and short stories written by Scottish writer Ian Rankin. They centre on Detective Inspector John Rebus, a cynical veteran policeman and former soldier who is divorced. The stories are mostly set in an Edinburgh several steps removed from what the tourists see — although the third book, Tooth and Nail, is set in London and other novels sometimes take Rebus to different parts of Scotland.The books have won numerous awards and are credited with playing a key role in establishing the "Tartan Noir" genre of crime stories.Some of the books were adapted for television (by STV for the ITV network) between 2000 and 2007. Rebus starred John Hannah, and later Ken Stott, in the title role. Rankin wasn't keen on either, and stopped writing novels featuring Rebus for a time until the production company's option on them expired. In 2020, BBC Scotland produced a short film entitled John Rebus: The Lockdown Blues, in which Brian Cox played the character. A new television adaptation, produced by the Swedish streaming service Viaplay, started filming in 2023 with Outlander star Richard Rankin (no relation) playing Rebus.Some of the novels have been turned into radio plays for Radio Four, most of which star Ron Donachie.There have also been two stage plays — Rebus: Long Shadows, which premiered in 2018 starring Charles Lawson, and Rebus: A Game Called Malice which debuted in 2023 with John Michie in the lead role.As of 2022, there are 24 novels in the series, as well as three collections of short stories and three other novels by Rankin which, although they don't feature Rebus as a character, are set in the same universe. | |
