A NIGHT WITH IAN RANKIN’ WITH SPECIAL GUESTS TO BE ANNOUNCED
Join Sir Ian Rankin, the international bestseller and award-winning novelist, for a special one-off event this October to celebrate the launch of his highly anticipated new Rebus thriller, A Heart Full of Headstones. In this unique event, Ian will be introducing live music from a local artist as well as talking to special guests about the release of his new book.
A Heart Full of Headstones sees Rebus on a trial that could put him behind the bars for the rest of his life, and although it’s not the first time the legendary detective has taken the law into his own hands, it might be the last. Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke meanwhile faces the city’s most explosive case in years when a corrupt cop goes missing after claiming to harbour secrets that could sink the city’s police force. In a time when police can be both victims and criminals themselves – and everyone is playing their own game – who do you trust?
