Ian Rankin (2017 Event)
It's been 30 years since the publication of the first Rebus novel and what better way to celebrate that fact than with one of Scotland's most successful writers, Ian Rankin, who comes with his latest tale featuring the troubled Edinburgh cop.

Rankin chats to Magnus Linklater in this event recorded live at the 2017 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
