Synopsis "The Falls: 12 (Inspector Rebus) "

Ian Rankin's John Rebus, arguably the most realistic detective in crime fiction, is a brilliant but troubled man. When a young woman goes missing near his native Edinburgh, Scotland, Rebus finds himself just one small cog in the huge wheel of an inquiry set in motion by her powerfully rich father. Struggling to deal with both his own often-terrifying inner demons as well as the monstrous bureaucracy of the investigative team, Rebus finds himself drawn again and again into the case, desperately searching for the girl's salvation, as well as his own. In time Rebus uncovers two leads: one, a carved wooden doll stuffed tightly into a tiny casket, and the other the missing girl's possible involvement in a dark, disturbing Internet-based role-playing game. He enlists the help of the tech-savvy DC Siobhan Clarke, who is young enough to know her way around the net, but who may not be old and wise enough to avoid potentially deadly pitfalls and traps. Meanwhile, Rebus tracks down stories of similar caskets and dolls turning up in the area deep into Edinburgh's past, some stretching back to a time when body-snatchers turned into brutal killers. As Rebus and Clarke delve deeper and deeper into these perilous and obscure worlds, ancient and modern evils begin to converge and soon Rebus finds he's besieged by an impenetrable mass of secrets, lies, and deadly deceit that only he can make sense of. In The Falls, a brilliant addition to an award-winning series, both John Rebus and his creator, Ian Rankin, are at the top of their intense and satisfying form.

Ian Rankin es un novelista escocés, conocido mundialmente por su serie de novelas policíacas protagonizadas por el inspector John Rebus. Nacido en Fife en 1960 y formado en Literatura Escocesa en la Universidad de Edimburgo, inicialmente exploró una carrera académica antes de dedicar sus esfuerzos a la escritura. Sus primeros trabajos incluyeron una variedad de empleos, desde recogedor de uvas y cuidador de cerdos hasta periodista de tecnología y funcionario fiscal, experiencias que enriquecieron su perspectiva y más tarde su obra narrativa.

Su novela The Flood marcó el inicio de su carrera como autor, aunque fue Knots & Crosses (1987), el primero en la saga Rebus, lo que cimentó su reputación. El personaje de John Rebus, un detective incómodo, complejo y atormentado, ha acompañado a Rankin a lo largo de décadas, madurando junto con él. Más allá de esta serie, también ha publicado novelas independientes —como Doors Open—, relatos, obras de teatro y colaboraciones en distintos formatos narrativos.

Rankin ha sido ampliamente reconocido por su contribución al género policial y a la literatura contemporánea. Además, su trabajo ha trascendido fronteras con traducciones a múltiples idiomas, adaptaciones televisivas y una base de lectorado global que sigue fielmente sus historias ambientadas en la atmósfera oscura y evocadora de Edimburgo.
