Ian Rankin's Rebus With John Hannah - 2 DVDset

John Hannah (A Touch of Cloth, Spartacus, The Mummy, Four Weddings and a Funeral) stars as eponymous hero Rebus, in these adaptations of Edinburgh author Ian Rankin's book of the same name.

Black and Blue Inspector John Rebus must dig up four cases to nail just one killer, and do it while facing the glare of an internal enquiry led by a man he has just accused of taking backhanders. One mistake is likely to mean a slow and unpleasant death or, worse still, losing his job.

The Hanging Garden Rebus investigates an outbreak of gang warfare which has already left one drug dealer dead, and notorious gang leader Morris Cafferty (James Cosmo) serving a 20-year sentence. But when a young prostitute is arrested, Rebus senses a breakthrough, only for tradegy to strike...

Dead Souls Rebus has to deal with a deported seriel killer moving into the neighbourhood, which also now includes a paedophile. He investigates a murder, an alleged suicide and looks for a missing person on the side as a favour to a former sweetheart. Soon, Rebus connects everything as he realises he faces a grandmaster in a game where the loser dies.

Mortal Causes When the body of Billy Cunningham is found dead under the streets of the Royal Mile, Rebus fears this could be an underworld revenge killing. However, his investigations uncover links between the death of Billy and a spate of racist attacks which have hit the city. He begins to suspect a greater conspiracy is behind it all - uncomfortably close to home.
