Ian Rankin

Join the multi-award winning crime writer, Ian Rankin, as his much loved detective, John Rebus, comes out of retirement to help solve one last case in new book, Even Dogs in the Wild, a story billed as one which will explore the darkest corners of our instincts and desires.

In an intimate conversation with The Guardian's Mark Lawson, the Scottish author will reveal why, after the death of two close friends including fellow novelist Iain Banks, he took a year-long sabbatical from writing before penning another instalment of the best-selling Rebus series.

Even Dogs in the Wild is Ian Rankin’s 20th novel. His books have been translated into 36 languages, and he’s the recipient of four Dagger Awards for crime fiction, an OBE for services to literature, and was recently made a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
