Where to start

Publication order, and here it genuinely matters — Rebus ages, the city changes around him, and his relationships with Siobhan Clarke and Big Ger Cafferty develop across the whole run. Black & Blue is the usual recommendation if you want to sample before committing to the whole run. The Beat Goes On collects the Rebus short stories, with new material, and is listed at its 2014 publication; it can be dipped into at any point once you know the characters.
