Tasked with solving a cold-case murder as an academic exercise, Rebus quickly realises the investigation is far more than a classroom simulation. As he digs deeper, he exposes a complex, dangerous web of police corruption, underworld dealings, and long-buried secrets that implicate his fellow trainees. \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"656\"\u003eResurrection Men\u003c\/i\u003e is a gripping, sharply observed police procedural that brilliantly underscores Ian Rankin’s mastery of the modern crime\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53673693741395,"sku":"4115\/6-RM-FS-VG-4","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260609_133649.jpg?v=1781013620","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/resurrection-men-ian-rankin-first-edition-signed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
