Shortlisted for Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year 2008.

Praise for Dying Light: 'Another brilliant, riveting police procedural from the new kid on the block. I'm green with envy!' R D Wingfield Praise for Cold Granite: 'COLD GRANITE is a powerful reminder that the best contemporary crime fiction is coming out of Scotland. Ferocious and funny, this is Tartan Noir at its best.' Val McDermid

Stuart MacBride has scrubbed toilets offshore, flunked out of university, set up his own graphic design company, got dragged into the heady world of the internet, developed massive applications for the oil industry, drunk heaps of wine and created the perfect recipe for mushroom soup. He lives, just left of the back of beyond, in North-east Scotland with his wife Fiona and enough potatoes to feed an army.
