It is the ninth of the Inspector Rebus novels. It was the second episode in the Rebus television series starring John Hannah, airing in 2001. Plot summaryDetective Inspector John Rebus is investigating a suspected war criminal. Rebus helps a traumatised Bosnian prostitute and tries to intercede in a territory war between gangster Tommy Telford and 'Big Ger' Cafferty's established gang. Telford is known to have close links with Newcastle gangster named Tarawicz -"Mr Pink Eyes"- a Chechen people-smuggler. Rebus' daughter Sammy (Samantha) is knocked down in what looks like a deliberate hit-and-run. A Japanese gangster is killed by someone trying to frame Rebus, using his Saab car. TV adaptationThere are major differences between the novel and the TV adaptation - these include the omission of the storyline involving a suspected Nazi war criminal, and a plot element in which Rebus recalls events during his Army service in Northern Ireland and wonders whether under slightly different circumstances he himself might have become a war criminal. The title refers to The Cure's song "The Hanging Garden." "Mr Pink Eyes" is another song by The Cure. {{Rebus novels}}{{Ian Rankin}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hanging Garden, The}}{{1990s-crime-novel-stub}} 3 : 1998 British novels|Inspector Rebus novels|Novels set in Edinburgh |
