Since Ian Rankin’s appearance at last year’s Book Festival, his iconic detective Rebus has made his stage debut in Long Shadows and is set to star in a television series by Black Watch playwright Gregory Burke. Rankin’s latest, In a House of Lies, is a smart procedural set in Edinburgh’s imaginary underworld. We mark the paperback’s arrival – and hear hints of what’s next – in this session filmed live at the 2019 Edinburgh International Book Festival with the bestselling author and comedian Phil Jupitus.
