“Rather be the Devil” Book Talk & Signing | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

It’s the 30th anniversary of Ian Rankin’s Detective Inspector John Rebus. In his latest outing he may have stopped smoking and drinking, but he hasn’t stopped flouting the rules. 2017 marks the thirtieth anniversary of one of crime fiction’s greatest characters, John Rebus, created by one of the world’s leading crime writers, Ian Rankin. Rebus’s anniversary coincides with the release of the much-anticipated Rather Be the Devil, Rankin’s 21st Rebus novel.

Rather Be the Devil finds John Rebus, as incapable of settling into his retirement as he is of playing by the rules, investigating a cold case from the 1970s involving a gorgeous and wealthy female socialite who was found dead in a bedroom at one of Edinburgh’s most luxurious hotels. No one was ever found guilty, but the scandalous circumstances of the murder have kept the town talking for over forty years.
