Exit Music by Ian Rankin

Exit Music by Ian Rankin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rebus retires. This book is based on the last two weeks before Rebus's retirement. The Russian businessmen are in town trying to win business deals with Scotland. A dissident Russian poet is found murdered and Rebus and Siobhan come into picture.
Soon the audio recordist who had a penchant to record things in public and who recorded the last book reading of the Russian poet is also found dead.

Siobhan leads the investigation with Rebus as a team member. Rebus ends up rubbing everybody the wrong way. Rebus gets himself suspended, but this does not deter him from pursuing the truth.

The book is all about how he solves his last case before he retires. A fitting end to a glorious career.
