Given his contempt for authority and habitually ornery manner, John Rebus's position as an Edinburgh cop is precarious. In this 14th installment, he and his partner, Detective Sergeant Siobhan Clarke, investigate the case of Lee Herdman, a withdrawn ex-soldier who allegedly shot three teenage boys at a Scottish private school, killing two before turning the gun on himself. Siobhan believes the case is straightforward: Herdman simply lost his mind. However, Rebus suspects deeper motives behind the tragedy, possibly linked to Herdman's involvement in a 1995 military mission or his connection with Teri Cotter, a 15-year-old "Goth" who shares her life online but keeps her relationship with Herdman private. Rebus's doubts intensify with the arrival of two secretive army investigators and the unusual behavior of James Bell, the sole survivor of the shooting, whose father aims to leverage the incident against gun ownership. Meanwhile, Rebus grapples with an internal police investigation into his past actions and the personal connection to one of the victims. Now middle-aged and increasingly aware of his obsolescence, Rebus navigates his own demons while mentoring Siobhan, risking her learning too much from his unconventional methods. This exploration of Rebus's character and struggles remains a compelling aspect of the series.
