So Where’s the Gold Watch?

From Mike Stotter’s Shotsmag Confidential blog:
Scottish crime writer Ian Rankin, creator of the acclaimed Inspector Rebus series, said on Monday (28th May) his hard-drinking detective hero must retire this year but might well be back to tackle unsolved cases.

Rankin told an audience at the literary
Hay Festival that Edinburgh-based Rebus, who first appeared 20 years ago, would reach 60, the mandatory retirement age for Scottish detectives, in the next novel, due out in September.

“There is every possibility that Rebus could be brought back to investigate cases that have not been cleared up,” Rankin said. “I don’t get the sense yet that the Rebus books are running out of steam.”
