A Goodreads user asked Ian Rankin:

I felt that Ken Stott was the best to bring Rebus to life. The "tired, slightly dissipated, but yet brilliant" actor. Puffy flesh reminded you of his late nights with his drink and music. What do you think?

Steve Aldous

Steve Aldous asked Ian Rankin:

Ian, I love the Rebus books and noticed in a few interviews that you cited Ernest Tidyman's Shaft novels as an influence. I, like you read them in my teens when they were first published in the UK by Corgi in the 1970s, and they have stayed with me ever since - so much so I wrote a book about them. Where there any specific aspects of Tidyman's writing that you admired and carried across into your own work?
