Ian Rankin
In association with the Auckland Writers Festival. Supported by NHNZ. |
When Ian Rankin wrote Detective Sergeant John Rebus into life in Knots and Crosses in 1987, he didn’t expect him to grouch his way into the public’s heart and become one of crime ction’s most beloved characters (he actually tried to kill him off in an early draft of that first novel). Thirty years on, this irascible old rogue still thrives, busier than ever in his so- called retirement. Ian will talk about his latest bestselling Rebus novel, Rather Be The Devil, and life at the top of one of fiction’s most popular genres, with fellow Scotsman and crime writer, Professor Liam McIlvanney.
