Bound in the publisher's original red cloth, the boards remain exceptionally clean and bright with sharp, unbumped corners and brilliant silver titling across the spine. The binding is tight and square, showing no signs of rolling or lean. Internally, the book is free from any previous ownership markings; the text block is clean, exhibiting only the faintest whisper of uniform age-toning to the margins, which is entirely standard for Orion's paper stock of this era. The unclipped dust jacket is equally impressive, maintaining crisp edges with no discernible shelf-wear, creasing, or sunning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e A handsome UK First Edition of the thirteenth instalment in the beloved Inspector Rebus series. This copy is made particularly desirable by the presence of Ian Rankin's signature, executed directly onto the title page in black ink without any dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Rankin's immense commercial success by the early 2000s meant that print runs for the Rebus novels were substantial, true first printings that remain in such remarkably sharp, collector's-grade condition are increasingly sought after. Verified signed copies that lack secondary provenance or gift inscriptions continue to hold a solid premium in the modern first edition market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspector John Rebus is off the case; and entirely off the rails. After throwing a teacup at his boss, Rebus is sent to the Scottish Police College for a \"retraining\" programme designed to weed out the force's most difficult officers, a group affectionately dubbed the \"Resurrection Men.\" But Rebus can't stay away from a good mystery, and soon he finds himself unofficially investigating a cold case that ties back to the very officers he is training alongside, leading to a tense, brilliantly plotted collision between Edinburgh's criminal underworld and its supposedly righteous protectors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54439653572947,"sku":"4835","price":52.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260727_135714.jpg?v=1785413477","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/resurrection-men-ian-rankin-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
