    is it not a Rebus Beanielou? although I do remember him saying he was killing him off... I've read a couple of non-Rebus Rankins but one was good and the other was awful.

    where's it set Beanie? I loved Rebus partly because I love Edinburgh and loved being able to visualise where it was all happening, and Ken Stott was always Rebus in my mind even before they cast him, John Hannah - pah!
