"Superb Rebus anthology"
A GOOD HANGING consists of twelve police procedural
investigations starring John Rebus and co-starring his
hometown Edinburgh. The anthology is different from most
short story collections, as there is no introduction
explaining the topic or its greatness. Instead Ian Rankin
uses the investigative stories to provide the audience a
close up look at Rebus and some of his cohorts enabling the
greatness to shine. Fans of the series will fully enjoy
the collection and anyone interested in a first look at one
of the best detectives around today ought to take the fall
because they will conclude that this anthology and
subsequently the Rebus novels are among the top police
procedural series in bookstores. Harriet Klausner
