The latest Rebus crime novel. Very chuffed to meet Ian Rankin in Edinburgh where he gave a talk to a group of people I’d invited.
Later the same day I found The Close named after the meat market which is situated and once led to a slaughterhouse at the side of the Nor’ Loch.
To finish off my Rebus pilgrimage I hunted down The Oxford Bar and supped a few pints of 12 shillings with the locals.
As for the book, read it and find out for yourself.
