Edinburgh is often described as the Athens of the North, but John Rebus, one its most famous detectives, views Scotland's capital in quite a different light - it is a crime scene waiting to happen. In this programme, Rebus's creator Ian Rankin revisits the key locations from the books. From the city's 'pubic triangle' and the home of Scotland's most infamous madam to a police station where Rankin was interviewed about a real murder, the award-winning crime writer explores the hidden Edinburgh into which tourists never venture
