Rebus is aging and Sir Ian Rankin express his unwillingness to extend his career. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle unsuccessfully attempted to end the career of Sherlock Holmes due to the extraordinary popularity of his stories. Will Sir Ian Rankin encounter a similar reaction from his public?
The TV series with Richard Rankin may work for a while. However, I would suggest trying to get Rebus' grandson to take over. He completed his academic studies for criminology before pursuing his postgraduate studies in Scottish history. Fife has some interesting unsolved mysteries with some recent mysteries like the Fife fisherman who disappeared or the Fife beast.
This would give the author to return to his James Hogg/Robert Louis Stevenson antisyzygy interests.
Do you think Midnight and Blue should be the end of Rebus?
