Ian Rankin: Journey to the dark side

He has worked as a swineherd, punk musician, and taxman, but Ian Rankin will forever be known as the master of hard-boiled noir.

The UK’s greatest living crime writer joins us to reveal his first standalone thriller in two decades, taking us out of Edinburgh and into the into the world of power, wealth and influence in the capital. The setting: London’s most exclusive Hyde Park high-rise, a billionaire’s playground of steel and smoked glass.

When a night concierge is found murdered in the lobby, the building’s rarefied atmosphere is shattered, and the gilded lives within come under intense police scrutiny. The rules may be different at the top – but is anyone truly above the law? Or could it be that the higher you rise, the further you fall?
