Seventies Series for sale!
"Ian Rankin once explained to an interviewer (the head of the Indian
Communist Party!) that crime fiction is way of talking about social
inequality. Ron Jacobs applies that same maxim to the Sixties (not to
mention dope, guns, f*cking, and imperialism) in his wonderfully noir
trilogy of those exhilarating and troubled times. And what Rankin does
for Edinburgh, Jacobs amply illuminates for the Movement. Much much more
than ripping yarns (though they are that too), from a master who's been
there, done that, and lived to tell a tale or two."
