The novels, centred on Detective Inspector John Rebus, are mostly based in and around Edinburgh. They are considered an important contribution to 'Tartan Noir'. The Rebus novel series began in 1987 when Ian Rankin published "Knots and Crosses;" his intention was to write a standalone variation on "Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson, set in contemporary Edinburgh. He was at first upset that bookshops shelved it in the crime fiction section, but he gradually accepted the fact that Rebus was to be the protagonist of a detective series: his goal became to write "on the surface a crime novel that was going to sell loads of copies, but which would be accepted by my peers in academia as serious Scottish fiction." "Let it Bleed" is a 1995 crime novel by Ian Rankin. It is the seventh of the Inspector Rebus novels. The US edition has a final chapter not present in the UK version; Rankin has explained that his North American publisher objected to the open, ambiguous conclusion of the original text.' (Wiki) ***Second impression of the true first edition of the seventh in the series of the Inspector Rebus novels - an uncommon title in the series. These earlier titles are becoming harder to find now. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. N° de réf. du vendeur 9568
