Peter James | Ian Rankin | Authors Studio - Meet The Masters

Its a huge pleasure to welcome Ian Rankin to the Authors Studio, he is a writer I hugely respect and admire for not only writing brilliant books with terrific characters including his legendary Rebus, but he also writes with great intelligence on many social issues. He is an A-list example of how crime fiction can be great literature.
Ian and I wrote a fun short story together with Roy Grace and John Rebus working together on a cold case. It's part of an anthology of short stories called 'Face Off' and is available here: www.amazon.co.uk/Face-Off-Dav...

Love Ian Rankin's novels, going to Edinburgh and re-reading the Rebus novels at the same time is on my bucket list!
.... and (blushing): What an attractive man!

So enjoyed this interview. Substantial and fun. Love the idea of play, and of never growing up. Which is true in a sense, though the Rebus books have indeed matured both in theme and writing style since Knots and Crosses. He's one of the greats.
