The New York Timesâbestselling author tells the story behind Inspector Rebus, the hard-edged Edinburgh cop and âsuperbly drawn characterâ (The Times, London).
Â
In this short work, Edgar and Diamond Dagger Award winner Ian Rankin delves into DI John Rebusâs origins as a character, as well as his own origins as a writer. While author and character share a love of literature and a deep affection for Scotlandâs capital city, they differ in other ways, as Rankin entertainingly testifies, while revealing how this âcompelling figureâ has developed over the course of his long-running series of gritty crime novels (Kirkus Reviews).
Â
â[A] hard-drinking, chain-smoking, terminally melancholic hero . . . trapped in a world where mavericks are an endangered species.â âBooklist
Â
âRebus is without doubt one of the funniest among the classical fictional detectives.â âThe Guardian
Â
âWith his stubborn insistence on tying up the frayed ends of every knotty clue, and iconoclastic refusal to be a team player . . . Rebus is a bane to his superiors but a blessing to readers.â âPublishers Weekly
