Mini biography ian rankin

was my sabbatical year, a year for travelling, chilling, having fun.  It’s been a long time since I could say I didn’t have at least one project on the go, but this was to be that year.

Then again, A Heart Full of Headstones was released in paperback, so there was a bit of promoting to do.  The National Library of Scotland also hosted a small exhibition highlighting some of my writing archive.  Later in the year there was an ebook and audiobook called The Rise (not published by Orion, so let us not linger on it) and publication of my script for the stage play Rebus: A Game Called Malice.  Apart from that though, no work.  Except I’m forgetting the TV reboot of Rebus, which was filmed on and off throughout the year.  It has now been edited and I have to say it looks great – gritty and authentic and dark and very Scottish.  No transmission dates as yet, but look out for it in

Travel though, travel was the big thing.  I walked the Fife Coastal Path with my old school friend John (it nearly killed me or at any rate did for my feet – one of my toes is still black and another lost its nail entirely).  Good fun though, and I saw bits of Fife I’d not seen before.  Glorious weather, too (this was back in May).  Though the best day of

Ian Rankin

About the Book

Ian Rankin is considered by many to be Scotland’s greatest living crime fiction author. Most well known for his Inspector Rebus series—which has earned critical acclaim as well as scores of fans worldwide—Rankin is a prolific author whose other works include spy thrillers, nonfiction books and articles, short stories, novels, graphic novels, audio recordings, television/film, and plays.
This companion—the first to provide a complete look at all of his writings—includes alphabetized entries on Rankin’s works, characters, and themes; a biography; a chronology; maps of Rebus’ Edinburgh; and an annotated bibliography. A champion of both Edinburgh and Scotland, Rankin continues to combine engaging entertainment with socio-political commentary showing Edinburgh as a microcosm of Scotland, and Scotland as a microcosm of the world. His writing investigates questions of Scottish identity, British history, masculinity, and contemporary culture while providing mystery readers with complex, suspenseful plots, realistic character development, and a unique mix of American hard-boiled and procedural styles with Scottish dialects and sensibilities.
