First, the Bad News: If you're a fan of Ian Rankin's series of Edinburgh police thrillers featuring Inspector John Rebus, you've doubtless already heard that the next novel, Exit Music (no US publication date announced), will be Rebus' last. (Details are here.)
Now, the Good News: At a reading in Toronto, Rankin recently told fans that he's not planning on killing off Rebus, and further that Rebus will likely make a cameo appearance in Rankin's future novels. Rankin has also said that his next series of novels will probably star Siobhan Clarke, who figures prominently in the Rebus novels.
So those of us who were worried about facing a harsh withdrawal period when John Rebus retires next year have heaved a big sigh of relief.--David E
