• [Rebus's father emigrated from Poland to Scotland during World War II. Rebus is discussing the modern-day immigrants that Jim Considine looks after in the immigration centre] 

  DI John Rebus : It must be a different type of immigrant you're getting these days, Mr Considine. Because when the Rebus clan got off the boat from Gdansk, they were just happy to be here.
