If you enjoy Iain Banks then you should enjoy Christopher Brookmyre. Very black humour. They describe him as a Scottish Carl Hiaasen.</font>
Aye, just picked up "A big boy did it and ran away" in Edinburgh Airport the other week....outstanding read !
BTW, re another post, I think John Hannah is great, but if you've read the Rebus books, he is just not old, beaten up and jaded enough to play Rebus.
South Side ? Nuh, virtually none of teh Rebus books set in yah land (sorry, student dormitories), he gets his bevvies in the Oxford, but most of the books are set in the places you don't really drive into...I used to, but mostly because I used to play and referee basketball games for years, and they were always held in school gyms in odd areas....the weirdest one being WHEC in Wester Hailes, had to watch out for tyre punctures in the car park from needles....but that was a long time ago.
Ok, so that is so far OT now that I think I am off any map.....
