I'd heard of Ian Rankin and his series of mysteries featuring Edinburgh-based detective John Rebus, but I didn't think to search any of the books out until Rankin showed up on an episode of No Reservations, where he took Anthony Bourdain to a chip shop. There was enough talk about the series and its depiction of the darker side of the city to make things click the next time I went to the library.
And I have to say I'm pretty glad things clicked, as I really enjoyed this introduction to the series. Now if only our library had more of the early books...
