STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN’S GRAVE by Ian RANKIN – Translated from English by Freddy Michalski - Éditions Du Masque / Le Livre de Poche / L.G.F. (21 rue du Montparnasse, Paris) - 2016 - 601 pages – Paperback. Since Inspector Rebus retired, he has been vegetating and working as a civilian to solve unsolved cases, frustrated at no longer being on the front line. When an old cold case comes out of the closet following the disappearance of a young woman, he can't resist the temptation, and manages to get his place back in the crime unit. Still as stubborn, scattered and unmanageable, he quickly gets everyone on his bad side, especially Malcolm Fox, from the Complaints department, convinced that Rebus is rotten to the core. But nothing stops the inspector, determined to find the truth about a series of disappearances that apparently have no connection to each other. Nobody wants to deal with this case. All the more reason to tackle it, even if it means putting his life and the careers of his colleagues in the line of fire.
