This evocative and stunningly produced book highlights the places that inspired the settings for the Inspoector Rebus novels. It is the Scotland that the tourist never sees.

Finally, it is a look at modern-day Scotland. Beautifully illustrated throughout, with pictures that reflect the text, this is the perfect gift for anyone interested in Scotland or in the novels of IIan Rankin.
