2006 Bleeding Hearts - Ian Rankin (Jack Harvey) Orion

2006 Bleeding Hearts - Ian Rankin (Jack Harvey) Orion. Paperback Ian Rankin writing as Jack Harvey good copy a few small pen marks but not interfering with the story. 

Bleeding Hearts by Jack Harvey, the pseudonym used by Ian Rankin, is a crime thriller featuring the darker, more hard-boiled side of Rankin’s writing.

The novel follows Gordon Reeve, a private investigator drawn into a dangerous investigation after a seemingly straightforward case begins to reveal links to violence, betrayal and organised crime. Set against a gritty urban backdrop, the story combines suspense, murder and revenge with Rankin’s characteristic interest in flawed characters and the darker corners of society.

Published under the Jack Harvey name, Bleeding Hearts is of particular interest to collectors of Ian Rankin, as it belongs to the relatively small body of work he published before becoming best known for the Inspector Rebus novels.
