MP Gregor Jack is caught in an Edinburgh brothel with a prostitute only too keen to show off her considerable assets. When the media horde begins baying for political blood Jack’s friends rally round to protect him. But some of those friends - particularly his wife’s associates are not so squeaky clean themselves.
Initially Detective Inspector Rebus is sympathetic to the MP’s dilemma - who hasn’t occasionally succumbed to temptation? - but with the disappearance of Jack’s wife the glamour surrounding the popular young man begins to tarnish. Someone wants to strip Jack naked and Rebus wants to know why ...

As well as many stage and screen roles, Macpherson has been DCI Jardine in Taggart for thirteen years.

Audio Tape - Orion Audio (2003)
Buy at Amazon.co.uk Beggars Banquet Volume 3
This is the third of three volumes on audio which include all twenty-one stories of the Beggars Banquet book, read unabridged. The Wider Scheme reveals more than first meets the eve. Unknown Pleasures looks at the new millennium from the dark side. Inspector Rebus investigates a blackmail in In The Frame. The Confession, which started out as a radio piece, is set in a police interview room. A hitman gets more than he bargained for in a crowded fairground in The Hanged Man. Rebus learns a thing or two from a veteran jailbreaker in Window of Opportunity. The Serpent’s Back explores the seedy side of Edinburgh in the 1790s. And in No Sanity Clause Rebus sees his girlfriend kissing Santa Claus ... All bear the hallmark of great crime writing. The hugely versatile James Macpherson relishes the variety of characters.

Audio Tape - ISIS (2002)
Buy at ISIS Resurrection Men
Rebus is off the case - literally. In the early stages of an inquiry into the brutal death of an Edinburgh art dealer, Rebus blows up at his superior, DCS Gill Templer, and is sent into purdah. Which means the Scottish Police College, sited on the edge of a village in central Scotland. He is there for ‘retraining’.
Rebus joins a group of similar officers - people with problems. They are given an old unsolved case to work on, hopefully to teach them the merits of teamwork, while allowing professionals to assess this unholy ‘wild bunch’. But some people in the team have secrets.
As if that wasn’t enough, the Scottish Crime squad has a favour to ask. They’ve found someone to deliver the inside info on the East coast’s biggest gangster, ‘Big Ger’ Cafferty. All they need is a go-between. They’ve decided on Rebus - whether he likes it or not.

Short stories written and introduced by Ian Rankin read by James Macpherson
This is the first of three volumes on audio which will include all twenty-one stories of the Beggars Banquet book, read unabridged. Trip Trap involves Inspector Rebus and a crossword; Someone Got to Eddie introduces a sinister tone; A Deep Hole, set in London, was shortlisted for the Anthony award; Natural Selection casts suspicion all round; Facing the Music sees Rebus, true to style, operating in an irregular fashion; Principles of Accounts takes a novel approach to balancing the books and The Only True Comedian forms a wryly comic conclusion. All bear the hallmark of great crime writing. The hugely versatile James Macpherson relishes the variety of characters.
