![]() A taut police procedural and puzzle that truly lives up to its reputation as a page turner from the premier writer in modern crime fiction. He's also been drinking too much, and to complicate things further, his wife and daughter have left him. A57Followed byHide and Seek Knots and Crosses (also written Knots & Crosses) is a 1987 crime novel by Ian Rankin. A serial strangler is on the loose and Detective Sergeant Rebus has been receiving crank letters, matchstick crosses, and a small neatly tied knot. Rankin has succeeded in bringing to life the Edinburgh, Scotland that Rebus knows so well, as a living breathing character in this excellent series. Ian Rankin's first John Rebus novel and his second novel has become one of the most elusive titles in modern crime fiction. Near fine, with the lightest of page tanning about the edges, a minute tear and small nick at top end of dj spine, some rubbing, one short narrow scratch, and one tiny mark to rear flap, but still a very attractive copy in a clear Brodart mylar cover. SIGNED by author on the title page accompanied by the now famous noughts and crosses drawing. ![]() The Scarce First edition, first printing and first U.K. ![]()
