  abstract: 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 after to combine engaging entertainment with sociopolitical 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.
