The Black Book
The fifth novel featuring Inspector John Rebus, available for the first time as an e-book and with an exclusive introduction by author Ian Rankin. When the Central Hotel, a place of decidedly unsavory reputation, burned to the ground in a mysterious fire, the Edinburgh police were unable to disguise their delight. That is, until a body was found in the still-smoldering ashes, charred beyond all identification but with a bullet lodged in its skull. Now it's five years later and Inspector John Rebus is following any leads in a vicious off-duty ambush that has put one of his favorite junior officers into a coma. A cheap black notebook belonging to the wounded policeman contains a cryptic allusion to the almost-forgotten blaze, but crucial pieces of the puzzle obstinately refuse to fall into place. What could young Detective Sergeant Brian Holmes have learned to render him such a threat that he must be silenced at all costs? "The past is important," Rebus hardly needs to remind himself, yet the secrets he persists in uncovering are buried in layer upon layer of sordid and evil lies.

The Lincoln Assassination
On April 22, 1865, Brevet Colonel H. L. Burnett was assigned to head the investigation into the murder of President Abraham Lincoln and the attempted murder of Secretary of State William H. Seward. Burnett orchestrated the collection of thousands of documents for the Military Commission’s trial of the conspirators. This deep archive of documentary evidence--consisting of letters, depositions, eyewitness accounts, investigative reports, and other documents--provides invaluable insight into the historical, cultural, and judicial context of the investigation. Only a fraction of the information presented in these documents ever made its way into the trial, and most of it has never been readily...

The Vinegar Letters
It is the mid-1820s and the great city of Glasgow, beneath its Presbyterian shell, is buzzing with gentlemen’s clubs, rivalries and gossip. At the centre of genteel society, which is known as The Quality, presides the wealthy wit, John Kingan Esquire. Having amassed a considerable fortune from trade, Kingan now looks forward to a retirement of good cheer in the best of company. However, his cosy plans are thwarted when he becomes the object of a campaign of revenge, mounted by a ruthless, Evangelical banker, Robert Watson. And what was the substance of this revenge? A series of anonymous and slanderous letters whose authorship Watson attributes to Kingan and Kingan to Watson. Their implacable feud exacts a gruelling toll. It drags in a cast of characters from the upper and lower ranks of society. Many rue the day they became involved. For one, his involvement proves fatal. The affair, however, enthrals the Glasgow public. The Vinegar Letters is an historical novel that apart from giving a lively account of one of the most famous scandals of the era, also introduces the reader to the fascinating customs, mores, and political shenanigans of a time of great social change.
