Books by Ian Niall Rankin

Ian Niall Rankin's varied life has seen him follow several careers. Educated at Eton and Christ Church, Oxford, he went first into advertising, before leaving in the early 1960s to set up his own business manufacturing seat belts. In the early 1970s he entered the world of financial investment, becoming joint chairman of an employment agency in Holland, and at the end of that decade he started an oil exploration company, which has taken him all over the world. Nowadays, Sir Ian Rankin spends much of his time at his house near Toulouse in southern France. Doomsday Just Ahead is his first book.
