In the House of Lies

Ian Rankin's noir detective stories, in which Inspector Rebus unravels crimes committed in Edinburgh, have already become classics. “In the House of Lies” — a new novel after quite a long break.
Everyone has something to hide. At the bottom of a forest ravine, the body of a private detective locked in an abandoned car has been found. He went missing many years ago; his search was conducted diligently and for a long time, but the corpse was discovered years later — in a grove that had been thoroughly searched more than once. At least, that is what the materials of the already closed case suggest. Siobhan Clarke takes on the old investigation, analyzes mistakes, and tries to understand what went wrong back then. She will have to interrogate everyone who participated in the investigation. And it seems that each of them has something to hide and something to lose. But among these people, there is one man who knows exactly where the trail will lead - her former boss, now a retired detective Rebus.
