Book Overview: The first of Ian Rankin's JACK HARVEY novels. Ian Rankin is a regular Sunday Times bestseller and Guardian fastseller. He has an incredibly high profile - in 2003, he had his own TV series (Ian Rankin's Evil Thoughts), received his OBE, guested on Newsnight Review and is a constant contributor to the national press. He has won numerous awards, including the CWA Gold Dagger and the Edgar Award. In 2003 Rankin sold over one million books. He now makes up more than 10 per cent of all UK crime sales. Rankin also constantly gets excellent reviews: 'No other writer in his chosen genre is producing books as rich and comprehensive as this: Dickensian, you might say' Literary Review. 'Rankin is the thinking man's thriller writer' Irish Times 'There are few writers who can match him for imaginative, multi-layered plots ... In a genre where murder is the norm, it is testament to Rankin's talent that he succeeds in making death seem as incongruous and painful as it does in real life' New Statesman. 'Rankin is a master of his craft' Independent on Sunday.
