'A dozen great writers. A dozen great places. A killer combination.' --The Scotsman
Scotland’s dark past meets its crime writing best in this award-winning and gripping anthology of thrilling short stories.
Twelve of Scotland’s finest crime writers—including Val McDermid, Chris Brookmyre, Denise Mina, Ann Cleeves, and Stuart MacBride—bring together two of the nation’s greatest assets: its sinister built heritage and its world-class crime fiction. The result is a collection of stories that are chilling, compelling, and utterly unmissable.
From murder in an ancient Iron Age broch and a macabre act of revenge in an 18th-century mill, to a psychological thriller set within the throng of Edinburgh Castle and a rivalry that turns deadly in an abandoned modernist ruin, these tales expose the dark and deadly connections between people and places.
Winner of the CWA Short Story Dagger 2019, Bloody Scotland is a must-read for fans of Scottish crime fiction, history and spine-tingling suspense.
