Crime Scene Edinburgh: 20 Years of Rankin and Rebus

"A major new exhibition marking the 20th anniversary of the first Inspector Rebus novel opens this week at the National Library of Scotland.

The exhibition at the National Library of Scotland comes in the wake of the release last month of Exit Music, the final Rebus novel, and marks a sort of homecoming for both author and detective: Ian Rankin wrote much the first Rebus novel, Knots and Crosses, in the Library's reading rooms, where he divided his time between fiction writing and work on his PhD thesis on Dame Muriel Spark"
