Here is what Mr.Crime Fiction NZ, Craig Sisterson, had to say about Ian Rankin's visit on his Crime Watch blog last week:
Next month sees the return of one of the most popular characters in contemporary crime fiction, Ian Rankin's maverick Scottish detective John Rebus. Five years after Rankin retired Rebus to howls of protest from readers in EXIT MUSIC, and 25 years after Rebus first hit the page in KNOTS & CROSSES, the hard-drinking maverick is back, in Rankin's new novel, STANDING IN ANOTHER MAN'S GRAVE (released on 8 November 2012). The book sees Rebus, now working as one of several retired detectives on the cold case squad, come face-to-face with Rankin's latest protagonist, Malcolm Fox of the feared Complaints and Conduct Department ("internal affairs" or the "rat squad" as they are known in US cop shows), while also investigating a series of seemingly unconnected disappearances stretching back more than a decade.
It is great news for New Zealand crime fiction fans, Rankin will also be touring Aotearoa in early November, making public appearances at events in Auckland, Wellington, and Dunedin.
