Description

Signed, featuring a distinctive tic-tac-toe illustration by Ian Rankin - a playful nod to the novel’s title and themes. Originally won in a Highland Park Whisky magazine competition. Knots & Crosses marked Rankin’s debut and introduced Inspector Rebus, the brooding Edinburgh detective who would define modern Scottish crime fiction. Written while Rankin was a postgraduate at the University of Edinburgh, the book reimagines Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the late twentieth century, blending psychological tension with the dark undercurrents of the city. A unique, signed example from one of Scotland’s most celebrated contemporary authors.
