 As time's gone on, I've probably become a lot more like him [John Rebus]: I drink at his bar and I like to be one on one with my music late at night. |
| By that time, Rebus will be 59 and, for a CID officer, he is getting fairly long in the tooth. They will have brought in the smoking ban by 2007, so he will definitely want to retire to somewhere in the sun for a drink and a smoke. |
| He is a big fan of pulp fiction/American private-eye stories. He writes very tough, amoral tales of urban life with very few good cops, and usually it is the villains who are the heroes of his books. It is a very interesting take. |
| I have him going into a pub and lighting up, and then being told by a barman that he has got only nine months to go before he has to stop. |
| It's a strange feeling to see one's books come up at auction and also, to some extent, a sign of my miserable early failings as an author. |

| The match hinged on the first try after the break, |
| The match hinged on the first try after the break. |
| When a murder is satisfied, it isn't the beginning of the story; it's the middle. We shouldn't forget that fact because murder has ripples. You never go back to being the same. The people that investigate these crimes never go back to being the same as they were before they started the investigation. The people's whose lives have been affected, the victim's families, even the murderer themselves are profoundly changed. That's why murder is still the most interesting crime for us to write about, because it is the only crime where something unique is taken away from the world, something that can't be replaced. |
| Whether Rebus's 'skills' are ones his bosses would wish retained is a moot point, but it seems I have my 'get-in' clause should I need one. |
