“Over the years, lan Rankin has amassed an incredible portfolio of short stories. Published in crime magazines, composed for events, broadcast on radio, they all share the best qualities of his phenomenally popular novels. Now an Rankin's two critically acclaimed short story collections - A Good Hanging and Beggars Banquet - come together in one volume for the first time, along with Atonement, a blistering new Rebus story written especially for this collection.
A GOOD HANGING
Twelve Inspector Rebus mysteries, including the hanging of a student during the Edinburgh Festival, a gruesome arson attack and the apparent witnessing of a miracle. Step off the tourist trail and into the macabre heart of Rebus's Edinburgh.
BEGGARS BANQUET
Ranging from the suburban murders of loved ones to the sinister workings of a serial killer's mind, and from a bent cop with a terminal approach to his work, to a hitman who gets more than he bargained for in a crowded fairground; here are twenty-one tales that all bear the hallmark of great crime writing. The collection includes seven Inspector Rebus mysteries, and the Dagger award-winning story Herbert in Motion.”
