After the war, he worked in Paris for 7 years as a cultural attaché.

In addition, Rainov writes social prose from Bulgarian reality, as well as popular science works in the field of art history, in which he pays a lot of critical attention to Western mass culture ("Black Novel", "Mass Culture", etc.) In 1963, his detective story was published novel "The Inspector and the Night". Bogomil Rainov became famous thanks to a series of adventure novels united by the main character, intelligence officer Emil Boev: “Mr. Nobody”, “There is Nothing Better than Bad Weather”, “Great Boredom” and others. There are few chases and shootouts, but there is more than enough battle of intellects. Rainov's enemies are smart, cunning and merciless, but the main character is in no way inferior to them in these qualities. However, Boev’s moral superiority over Western spies is so obvious that the reader does not even have a shadow of doubt about his rightness. Most of the novels were made into feature films, in which, like the film “The Inspector and the Night,” the writer participated as a screenwriter.
