Details: Amazon.ca Rebus: Set 1 includes the first two episodes in the morally and narratively complex, British mystery television series in which actor Ken Stott (I'll Sleep When I'm Dead) replaces John Hannah as the Edinburgh, Scotland detective inspector created by novelist Ian Rankin. The middle-aged John Rebus and young partner Siobhan Clarke (Claire Price, replacing Gayanne Potter) take on a bizarre serial killer in "The Falls," a vengeance-seeking killer taking aim at the members of a wealthy family and their acquaintances in the medical profession. "Fleshmarket Close" is a sad story set in a poor immigrant community little-known to Edinburgh tourists. The disappearance of a young woman from a housing project brings Rebus and Clarke into a case that quickly grows with the murder of a Kurdish man and the vanishing of a local hoodlum. The link between all these people proves baffling, but the case takes the lid off a protection racket, abuses at a detention center holding innocent immigrants, and a few secrets suppressed by well-meaning community activists. Viewers and readers familiar with Rebus won't be surprised by the way the hero's personal life frequently intertwines with his cases. Few detective heroes are surrounded by as many ex-lovers as the aging Scots sleuth. --Tom Keogh
