A festival highlight for crime fiction lovers!

Multi-million copies sold worldwide, more than 30 books published and an OBE for services to Literature to his name, not to mention a Diamond Dagger award, which recognises outstanding lifetime achievement in crime fiction, Ian Rankin is unparalleled in his field.

His latest Rebus thriller, Midnight and Blue turns the tables and sees the Edinburgh detective himself behind bars. But how do you catch a killer in a place full of them? It’s been described by reviewers as “taught, claustrophobic, thrilling” and “Rankin at his best”.

He joins Jim Mora to discuss his highly praised and instant No.1 best-selling new book and reflect on a phenomenal career at the forefront of crime writing.
