\"\"<\/a>Rebus has done it this time. He’s finally put himself in limbo of sorts–a last chance “retraining” course for cops who can’t keep themselves out of trouble. This “last chance” group is referred to as the “Resurrection Men”–a group who are being given once last chance to revive their careers. These are men who are mostly good cops–but they’re lousy at obeying orders and sometimes go beyond the boundaries of what is allowed when seeking justice. <\/p>\n

For as often as Rebus gets himself into trouble, it’s almost surprising that he hasn’t ended up here before. And you have to wonder whether he’ll be able to get himself out of trouble this time.
