brooding detectives...

One of my favorite detectives in mystery fiction is Inspector John Rebus, or, as I like to call him -- The Brooding Detective. One of the most recent additions to this series, Resurrection Men earned Rankin the Edgar Award for Best Mystery Novel of 2004. This moody series of novels by author Ian Rankin has a new addition, Fleshmarket Alley, which promises to be just as dark and disturbing.
