Harry Tomos asked Ian Rankin:

have you ever tried another genre, is there a genre you would like to try?

Ian Rankin I've done thrillers. Written a couple of radio plays set in 18th Century Edinburgh. One graphic novel featuring the character John Constantine. I'd like to do horror maybe - I just need an idea!

Mr. Rankin, wanted to know if you'd read any Indian crime novels? Also, apart from the late Philip Kerr and yourself, who in Scotland is a good crime writer in your opinion?
