A Good Hanging

A Good Hanging is packed with twelve remarkable, gritty mystery stories starring DI John Rebus, "probably the most interesting man in detective fiction," in his home city of Edinburgh, as only international #1 bestselling author Ian Rankin can portray it (Kirkus Reviews). Not just the tearooms and cobbled streets of the tourist brochures, but a modern urban metropolis with a full range of criminals and their victims—blackmailers, peeping Toms, and more than one kind of murderer. It's a city like any other, a city that gives birth to crimes of passion, accidents, and long-hidden jealousy, and a city in which criminal minds find it all too easy to fade into the shadows. As dedicated readers of the series well know, nobody is better equipped to delve into Edinburgh's back alleys and smoky pubs than Rebus, and no one better able to illuminate his world than Ian Rankin. Praise for A Good Hanging and Ian Rankin "The king of tartan noir puts his popular Scottish 'heart attack material' supersleuth to work investigating arson, a ghostly vision, a converted ex-con and the 'perfect murder' in A Good Hangings' fast-paced mini-mysteries." —Publishers Weekly "Ian Rankin is a genius." —Lee Child
