Product Description
Product Description
Over the years, Ian Rankin has amassed an incredible portfolio of short stories. Published in crime magazines, composed for events, broadcast on radio, they all share the best qualities of his phenomenally popular mystery novels. Ten years ago, A Good Hanging - Ian's first short story collection - demonstrated this talent and now after nearly a decade at the top of popular fiction, Ian is releasing a follow-up. This is the second of three volumes on audio which will include all twenty-one stories of the Beggars Banquet book, read unabridged. The CWA Dagger-winning tale Herbert in Motion attempts the 'perfect crime', Glimmer is an acid-laced vision of rock bands in the late Sixties.O The theme of bad luck permeates Unlucky in Love, Unlucky at Cards.O Editing gets creative in Video, Nasty.O In Talk Show DI John Rebus takes on a case at Lowland Radio.O Castle Dangerous is another Rebus investigation, with a clue provided by Sir Walter Scott himself.O All bear the hallmark of great crime writing.O The hugely versatile James Macpherson relishes the variety of characters.
