Exit Music(Orion Publishing Group - 2007)
Well if this really is the last Rebus you can't fault the title. In Exit Music (for Rebus) our hero starts off with a car stereo that only works in one speaker and ends up with a fully-loaded iPod, thanks to Siobhan. Welcome to the twenty-first century, Johnny boy...
Rebus has a tough old time of it in his last few days on the job, but manages to find solace in the music of perennial fave John Martyn, and that flannel-shirted Belfast hard-man, Rory Gallagher. The revival starts here...
