(London), Orion, (2005). Second printing of the hardcover edition of the seventh novel and eighth book in the author's highly acclaimed Inspector Rebus series, set in Edinburgh, Scotland. This copy is inscribed by the author: "Jerry, Thanx for the review! Cheers, Ian." We don't know who Jerry is/was or where his review appeared, but Rankin seems familiar enough to have signed with just his first name. Fine in a fine dust jacket. The Rebus novels were still being published simultaneously in hardcover and softcover at this time, and the hardcover editions were relatively small. A beautiful copy, with a nice inscription.
