About This Item
London: Canongate Books Ltd, 2021. First edition. Hardcover. A fine unread copy in a fine dust jacket (stickers to front cover, as issued). Signed by Ian Rankin on a tipped-in sheet, this exclusive edition includes the transcript of Rankin and McIlvanney in conversation at the 2013 Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival. William McIlvanney's Laidlaw books changed the face of crime fiction. When he passed in 2015, he left half a handwritten manuscript of Laidlaw's first case. Now, Ian Rankin is back to finish what McIlvanney started and together, these two forces of crime fiction bring to life the criminal world of 1970s Glasgow, and Laidlaw's relentless quest for truth. 288 pages.
