This is a collection of short stories, featuring Ian Rankin's most famous Detective, Inspector John Rebus. As a follow on from my review of Rankin's 14th Rebus novel, A Question of Blood, I have just read A Good Hanging (and other stories) written by Rankin in 1992, just five years after the first Rebus book. _Ian Rankin_ Born in the Kingdom of Fife (the same as Rebus), in 1960, Ian Rankin graduated from the University of Edinburgh and has since been employed as a grape-picker, swineherd, taxman, alcohol researcher, hi-fi journalist and punk musician.

~ ~ I’ve long been an avid fan of Scot’s author Ian Rankin, in particular of his detective novels featuring the irreverent, irascible, irritable, hard drinking Edinburgh police inspector John Rebus. Once Rebus gets under your skin you very quickly get addicted, and can barely contain yourself as you wait for the next Rebus mystery to flow from the keyboard of the much feted Mr. Rankin. Fortunately, the wait is nearly over as a brand new Rebus novel called “The Naming Of The Dead” is due for release in October, 2006. ~ ~ In the meantime I’ve been reduced to re-reading some of my Rebus collection of novels, and with sixteen to choose from I’m truly spoilt for ...
