SHORTLISTED for the MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2016. WINNER of the SALTIRE
SOCIETY FICTION BOOK of the YEAR 2016. The year is 1869. A brutal
triple murder in a remote community in the Scottish Highlands leads
to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae. A
memoir written by the accused makes it clear that he is guilty, but
it falls to the country's finest legal and psychiatric minds to
uncover what drove him to commit such merciless acts of violence.
Was he mad? Only the persuasive powers of his advocate stand
between Macrae and the gallows. Graeme Macrae Burnet tells an
irresistible and original story about the provisional nature of
truth, even when the facts seem clear. His Bloody Project is a
mesmerising literary thriller set in an unforgiving landscape where
the exercise of power is arbitrary.

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 BOOKER PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022
GORDON BURN PRIZE 'A page-turning blast.' Times 'Genuinely
affecting ... a very funny book.' Guardian 'Burstingly alive and
engaging.' Telegraph FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOKER
PRIZE-SHORTLISTED HIS BLOODY PROJECT. 'I have decided to write down
everything that happens, because I feel, I suppose, I may be
putting myself in danger.' London, 1965. An unworldly young woman
suspects charismatic psychotherapist Collins Braithwaite of
involvement in a death in her family. Determined to find out more,
she becomes a client of his under a false identity. But she soon
finds herself drawn into a world in which she can no longer be
certain of anything. In Case Study, Graeme Macrae Burnet presents
both sides: the woman's notes and the life of Collins Braithwaite.
The result is a dazzling, page-turning and wickedly humorous
meditation on the nature of sanity, identity and truth itself, by
one of the most inventive novelists writing today.
