		Rebus' potential complexity is lost in the dizziness of the tale surrounding him.

		Rebus is adapted from the novels of award-winning writer Ian Rankin - the UK's number one best-selling crime writer.

	The Online Guide to the Enigma -- Rebus
		You’ll have to judge for yourself whether a rebus is better with, for example, an O left in the rubric or taken out and treated as an interjection in the reading.
		Roughly speaking, an enigmatic rebus is one whose solution depends on more than the rubric characters, their placement, the situation, or obvious modifications to the puzzle text.
		The fact that everything is lowercase suggests that this is a meaning rebus; the spaces suggest that it’s transformational (subtractive, from Pittsburgh), so perhaps the meaningful unit is there only to indicate that a P and B are missing.
