Aye Write 2022 – Ian Rankin, The Dark Remains

22 May, 2022, 6.30 p.m.
25 Albert Dr, Glasgow G41 2PE
Ian Rankin and William McIlvanney join forces for the first ever case of DI Laidlaw, Glasgow’s original gritty detective.
McIlvanney was a huge inspiration to Rankin and the creator of Rebus completes his idol’s last, unfinished novel.
Hear Ian Rankin discuss this book and the unique writing process of it with Janice Forsyth.
If the truth’s in the shadows, get out of the light . . .
Lawyer Bobby Carter did a lot of work for the wrong type of people. Now he’s dead and it was no accident. He’s left behind his share of enemies, but who dealt the fatal blow?
DC Jack Laidlaw’s reputation precedes him. He’s not a team player, but he’s got a sixth sense for what’s happening on the streets. As two Glasgow gangs go to war, Laidlaw needs to find out who got Carter before the whole city explodes.
