Chris asked Ian Rankin:

I really like how you use Edinburgh as a setting and really really like it when you take your stories on the road to other parts of Scotland, and incorporate bits of history. How did the little coffins in the Nat'l Museum come to your attention for The Falls?

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?
