Ian Rankin for Midnight and Blue

Join us for an evening with beloved crime fiction author Ian Rankin to celebrate the publication of his new novel: Midnight and Blue. Reverend Richard Coles will be interviewing Ian for this event!

John Rebus spent his life as a detective putting Edinburgh's most deadly criminals behind bars. Now, he's joined them...

As new allies and old enemies circle, and the days and nights bleed into each other, even the legendary detective struggles to keep his head.

That is, until a murder at midnight in a locked cell presents a new mystery. They say old habits die hard...

However, this is a case where the prisoners and the guards are all suspects, and everyone has something to hide.

With no badge, no authority and no safety net, Rebus walks a tightrope - with his life on the line.

But how do you find a killer in a place full of them?

Ian Rankin is the multimillion-copy worldwide bestseller of over thirty novels and creator of John Rebus. His books have been translated into thirty-six languages and have been adapted for radio, the stage and the screen.
