English Summary/英文概要： A new investigation threatens to unearth skeletons from Rebus’ past

Rebus’ retirement is disrupted once again when skeletal remains are identified as a private investigator who went missing over a decade earlier. The remains, found in a rusted car in the East Lothian woods, not far from Edinburgh, quickly turn into a cold case murder investigation. Rebus’ old friend, Siobhan Clarke is assigned to the case, but neither of them could have predicted what buried secrets the investigation will uncover.

Rebus remembers the original case--a shady land deal--all too well. After the investigation stalled, the family of the missing man complained that there was a police cover-up. As Clarke and her team investigate the cold case murder, she soon learns a different side of her mentor, a side he would prefer to keep in the past.

A gripping story of corruption and consequences, this new novel demonstrates that Rankin and Rebus are still at the top of their game.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个新的调查可能会揭开Rebus过去的不堪。

Rebus的退休计划再次被打乱，因为尸骨残骸被确认属于十多年前失踪的一个私家侦探。在爱丁堡不远处的树林里的一辆废弃小轿车里发现的残骸很快就变成了一桩未结谋杀案。Rebus的故友Siobhan Clarke被安排调查这起案件，但两人都没有料到这次调查会揭开的秘密。

Rebus清晰地记得最初的案件。在调查遇到困难时，失踪者家属提出其中可能牵涉到警方的掩盖事实。随着Clark带领团队深入调查这起案件，她很快发现了自己导师过去不为人知的一面。

小书讲述了一个关于腐败及其后果的引人入胜的故事，最终证明Rankin和Rebus依然宝刀未老。（LYR）
