It’s Tuesday again. Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
Share a couple or more sentences from the book you’re currently reading. You also need to share the title of the book that you’re getting your ‘teaser’ from €¦ that way people can have some great book recommendations if they like the teaser you’ve given!
And please avoid spoilers! 
Today I’m starting to read Hide & Seek by Ian Rankin and my teaser is from the opening paragraph. It’s from page 187 of the anthology of the first three Rebus books:
He was shrieking now, frantic, his face drained of all colour. She was at the top of the stairs, and he stumbled towards her, grabbing her by the arms, propelling her downstairs, with unfocucced force, so that she feared they would both fall.

I get the idea this book is filled with scary passages like your teaser. Don’t read too late at night or home alone.

One of these days I must begin working my way through the Rebus series … *sigh* there are so many authors I haven’t yet managed to read!

Tuesdays: Teaser/Whereabouts

What a great teaser! Very dramatic. I always do a double take when I see Ian Rankin’s name, since I think that’s the same name as one of the members of the Rankins, one of Canada’s major folk groups. I keep thinking, “He writes books, to? Oh, wait — ”
One of these days I obviously need to read this Rankin’s books, if your teaser is anything to go by.
Meanwhile, my own teaser is at Bookishgal.
