Rebus is a British Crime series based on the novels of Ian Rankin, the UK's number 1 bestselling crime author. Detective Inspector John Rebus of Edinburgh CID is played by Ken Scott. Rebus takes to the streets in search of the criminals committing murders, dealing drugs and money laundering. The Moderator elect of the Church of Scotland is found with his throat cut, naked in a car, next to a woman passenger in a similar state. The park where their bodies are found is a notorious liaison site for lovers. The womans jealous husband seems the most likely suspect.

Drug pusher Daniel Carr is acquitted of murder on a technicality. Rebus is blamed and investigated by Clive Dawson, once his best friend, now anything but. Carr and his obnoxious brother are murdered and chief suspect is Brian Robertson, another pusher, whose estranged son was Carr's victim. To complicate matters Carr's sister and Robertson's law-abiding son are in love and, whilst Dawson is honorable, his female assistant has been primed by the slimy prosecutor who really messed up the case to discredit Rebus. Fortunately Siobhan's loyalty and a series of anonymous letters come to the aid of Rebus and the investigation.

Ken Stott is Detective Inspector John Rebus in four new installments of this brilliant drama series.
