ALLEY OOPS
I am sure I am not the only one to find this absolutely ridiculous: Fleshmarket Close, the 2004 Inspector Rebus offering from Ian Rankin, is being retitled Fleshmarket Alley for American consumption. Word is that Americans will not know what a Close is. Hmm. Least said the better in some cases.

Detective Inspector John Rebus poured himself a large Laphroaig, leaned back in his battered armchair and hummed along tunelessly as The Rolling Stones belted out... Get Your Kicks On The A66.
