Ian Rankin
In Great Britain, no crime author outsells Ian Rankin. His Inspector Rebus stories are bestselling novels that have also been made into a television series.
Rankin was born in Fife in 1960. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh and according to the profile he provided for his official Website, has been a "grape-picker, swineherd, taxman, alcohol researcher, hi-fi journalist, and punk musician." The latter was for a group called "The Dancing Pigs."
In 1987, Rankin published his first Inspector Rebus story. Since then he has been named a Hawthornden Fellow, a Chandler-Fulbright Award, and Crime Writers Association Dagger Awards.
Rankin also wrote novels under the name Jack Harvey.
