Ian Rankin was a naughty boy at last week’s British Book Awards. Apparently the booze-addled Scottish crime writer got all starry-eyed for a 26-year old groupie, who he took back to his room at the Grovesnor House hotel.
“I got very drunk and did some stupid things which I now regret. I have let my whole family down and I’ve just got to try and sort things out now,” he was quoted as saying by The First Post. Read the full article here.
Is he attempting to rekindle the punk spirit of his youth? Maybe, maybe not. But get a better idea of what makes the man tick, by reading Spike’s interview with him here.
