The Inspector Rebus series of detective novels written by Scottish writer Ian Rankin features the main character known as Detective Inspector John Rebus. The setting for the majority of these novels is mostly in and around Edinburgh. As of this date, ten of these books have been adapted for television.
According to the author, John Rebus is the son of a stage hypnotist and was born in 1947. Although born and raised in Scotland, his grandfather had emigrated from Poland.

John also is involved in a strong platonic relationship w...
