Some cases never leave you.

For John Rebus, forty years may have passed, but the death of beautiful, promiscuous Maria Turquand still preys on his mind. Murdered in her hotel room on the night a famous rock star and his entourage were staying there, Maria's killer has never been found.

Meanwhile, the dark heart of Edinburgh remains up for grabs. A young pretender, Darryl Christie, may have staked his claim, but a vicious attack leaves him weakened and vulnerable, and an inquiry into a major money laundering scheme threatens his position. Has old-time crime boss Big Ger Cafferty really given up the ghost, or is he biding his time until Edinburgh is once more ripe for the picking?

In a tale of twisted power, deep-rooted corruption and bitter rivalries, Rather Be the Devil showcases Rankin and Rebus at their unstoppable best.

Ian Rankin (Cardenden, 1960) es uno de los escritores con más carácter de la novela negra actual y su personaje, John Rebus, uno de los policías más carismáticos del género. En 1987, inició con Nudos y cruces la aclamada serie de novelas ambientadas en su Escocia natal, que está siendo publicada por RBA. Con Asuntos internos dio comienzo a una nueva saga protagonizada por el inspector Malcolm Fox. Entre los numerosos galardones con los que se ha reconocido su talento destacan el Edgar Award, recibido en dos ocasiones por Resurrección y Black and Blue (novela que recibió también el Gold Dagger), el Grand Prix de Littérature Policière por En la oscuridad, el Premio Pepe Carvalho 2010 por toda su trayectoria y el X Premio RBA de Novela Policiaca 2016 por Perros salvajes. Asimismo, es caballero de la Orden del Imperio Británico.
