Rebus returns as the ailing ex-CID officer, this time to investigate a missing (presumed dead) person at the behest of Big Ger Cafferty.  As so often happens, Rebus' investigation intersects with other murders, leading to multiple reveals.  The whodunnits are as always impeccably set out and the eventual climax is bittersweet.
