Author Ian Rankin has revealed he includes references to The Who in the hope of receiving further emails from Pete Townshend.
In an interview in the new edition of Q, on sale now, Rankin said The Who guitarist is a fan of the books and has sent emails to the writer, best known for his Rebus crime novels.
In his first email, the musician wrote: “I was very moved that you used music from The Who's 'Quadrophenia' at the funeral for Rebus's brother."
Rankin said: "There isn't a return address. "There's no way of getting back to him. So we have this funny communication. I keep putting him in the books in the hope that he will send me another email."
