Very enjoyable adaptation of the Ian Rankin novels, this is the first out of 4 of the superior 2000/2001 miniseries of adaptations. The two Stuart Hepburn scripted outings (Black and Blue and Dead Souls) are slightly superior; Mortal Causes is very good and Hanging Garden slightly less satisfying. John Hannah, although a bit young for the part (according to author Rankin, Hannah is a "lovely guy, lovely guy: young, good looking - all the things that Rebus isn't!"), does a great job (see http://www.bbc.co.uk/norfolk/features/ian_rankin03.shtml for the full quote). Far superior to the 2006 miniseries, which lack Hannah, substituting capable journeyman Ken Stott (bad), and are far less well-scripted (fatal).
