Catalogue Note:An exquisite "As New" copy of the true first edition, first impression of Dead Souls, the tenth installment in Ian Rankin’s globally renowned Inspector Rebus series. Published by Orion in 1999, this volume remains a cornerstone for collectors of modern crime fiction. This specific copy is in museum-quality, pristine condition—untouched and unread, with an immaculate dust jacket and crisp, clean pages. It is a rare find for the dedicated Rankin enthusiast seeking a flawless, investment-grade copy of this pivotal Rebus novel.

In Dead Souls, Detective Inspector John Rebus finds himself pulled into a complex web of past and present dangers. A call from an old friend triggers a flood of memories and guilt, coinciding with the disappearance of a schoolfriend’s son. As Rebus navigates the dark underbelly of Edinburgh, he must also contend with the resurgence of a notorious serial killer, a local poisoner terrorizing the city zoo, and the volatile atmosphere created by the release of a convicted paedophile. Atmospheric, gritty, and masterfully plotted, this novel is widely regarded as a brilliant return to form for the series, showcasing Rebus at his most vulnerable and most tenacious.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
