Julian Rathbone, R.I.P.

The double Booker Prize winner and multi-genre writer, who wrote many crime novels and thrillers, died last Thursday at the age of 73. Obituaries and tributes come by way of:

• The Guardian’s Lindesay Irvine
• The Guardian’s Nick Coleman
• SHOTS’ Mike Stotter
• The Rap Sheet‘s J. Kingston Pierce

And as Jeff has already pointed out, Bob Cornwell’s 2003 interview with Rathbone is well worth a read.
