A collection of short stories from Irvine Welsh's 'favourite British crime writer' Tony Black. These mystery and thriller-themed stories are set in the USA and UK.
Tony Black is the author of more than 20 books, most recently Her Cold Eyes. He has been nominated for eight CWA Daggers and was runner up in The Guardian's Not the Booker prize for The Last Tiger.
He has written three crime series, a number of crime novellas and two collections of short stories. His acclaimed author interviews series was collected under the title, Hard Truths.
His novella, The Ringer, was adapted for the stage and the Ayr Gaiety performance can be found on YouTube.
A former Young Journalist of the Year, he still writes for the press regularly.
I'm a big fan of Tony's writing and this compilation of short stories shows off the brilliance of his writing in full. Some of the stories have appeared elsewhere but they are all worth reading over and over. The new stories are at Tony's usual high standard. If you enjoy this - and why wouldn't you?? - then go and read some of his full length stories.
