Ian Rankin on Midnight and Blue.

We are thrilled to welcome Sir Ian Rankin to St Mark's Church for a special Saturday afternoon event. The creator of the iconic Rebus series will be discussing Midnight and Blue, his newest book which finds inspector Rebus on the other side of the law, trying to solve a murder in a prison with no badge, no authority and no safety net.

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.

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