Ian Rankin was born in the Kingdom of Fife in 1960. He graduated from the
University of Edinburgh in 1982, and then spent three years writing
novels when he was supposed to be working towards a PhD in Scottish
Literature. His first Rebus novel was published in 1987, and the Rebus
books are now translated into twenty-two languages and are bestsellers
on several continents.
Ian Rankin has been elected a Hawthornden Fellow, and is also a past
winner of the Chandler-Fulbright Award. He is the recipient of four
Crime Writers' Association Dagger Awards including the prestigious
Diamond Dagger in 2005. In 2004, Ian won America's celebrated Edgar
Award for Resurrection Men. He has also been shortlisted for the
Edgar, Anthony, and Macavity Awards in the US, and won Denmark's Palle Rosenkrantz

The new Ian Rankin RATHER BE THE DEVIL 1/52 signed looks gorgeous. Collected them this morning from our bookbinders. They are late, but just worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteThe Stuart Neville inclusion about Rebus and the Devil is terrific for the fans.
