Thanks to all who have welcomed me--hope to meet you at
EyeCon.
If anyone wants to try Rankin, I highly recommend Knots and
Crosses, his first, or Black and Blue, his 1997 Gold Dagger
winner, although all his stuff is excellent. Both John Rebus
(in Rankin's books) and Charlie Resnick (in Harvey's) operate
as lone wolves within the police establishment (Edinburgh and
Nottingam respectively), have emotional attachments that
provide more anguish than comfort, and deal with career
criminals as well as the occasional world-class nutcase.
Rebus is a Rolling Stones fan, while Harvey prefers jazz.
Considerably more booze than tea is drunk. (Both by the
characters and by me, while reading.)
