This thrilling anthology of crime fiction stories by the
eight-times Crime Writers' Association (CWA) Dagger nominated
author of the Gus Dury series includes 'The Ringer', which was
performed on stage by Outlander star, Brian Larkin and 'The Holy
Father', a hilarious retelling of the nativity, set on a Scottish
housing scheme, and 'Stone Ginger', a fast-paced London noir heist.
This is the new Doug Michie crime novel by Tony Black, the
acclaimed Scottish writer. Full of intrigue, lies, secrets, and
illicit sexual encounters, this is a must-read for all fans of
crime noir. Doug Michie is still holed up in Burns Country, trying
to lick his wounds after the death of his mother and the disaster
of his last case, when he finds himself something of a local
celebrity in Ayrshire. His name, it seems, is now synonymous with
the eradication of corruption - but, living up to the expectations
of others has never been a strong point of his. After selling off
the family home, he finds himself looking for something to fill his
long days. What he finds is the case of a murdered member of the
Orange Order, who could have been a poster-boy for the sectarian
bigotry he despises so much. His sense of justice is alerted when
he hears the facts of the case and he feels compelled to dig
deeper. Uncovering a victim whose lifestyle was anything but
wholesome, and with potential killers mounting up by the minute,
Doug feels he has taken on an unsolvable case. Knowing the
territory, and calling in old favours from contacts in the north of
Ireland, Doug endeavours to root out the true reasons behind the
Ayrshire killing, and finds a wider conspiracy than he ever
imagined possible. If you love hard boiled crime you'll love this
book.

'Last Orders' is an exciting and thrilling anthology of original
short crime fiction by the up-and-coming and critically acclaimed
crime writer Tony Black - Irvine Welsh's favourite british crime
writer. Features the return of Edinburgh's reluctant investigator
Gus Dury in 'Last Orders' and 'Long Way Down'. When he receives a
mysterious letter on expensive paper, reluctant investigator Gus
Dury decides to take the case, if for no other reason than he needs
the cash. But there's something about his well-heeled client that
doesn't sit right with Dury in 'Last Orders'. Meanwhile a low-life
drug-dealer has a sudden change of heart as he takes revenge on his
cheating partner in 'London Calling'. Find out how a victim of high
school date rape takes the ultimate revenge and explore the grisly
aftermath of a bank job with a crew who suspects one of their
number has tipped off the police. And follow a performance-enhanced
bodybuilder who loses control with bloody consequences in this
collection of original novellas and short stories by Irvine Welsh's
'favourite British crime writer', Tony Black.
Still recovering from the harrowing case that ended his police
career, Doug Michie returns to his boyhood home of Ayr on
Scotland's wind-scarred west coast. He hopes to rebuild his
shattered life, get over the recent failure of his marriage and
shed his demons, but the years have changed the birthplace of the
poet Robert Burns. When Doug meets his old school-day flame Lyn,
however, he feels his past may offer the salvation of a future.
But, Lyn's son has been accused of murder and she begs Doug to find
the truth. Soon Doug is tangled in a complicated web of corrupt
politicians, frightened journalists and a police force in cahoots
with criminals. Only Burns' philosophical musings offer Doug some
shelter as he wanders the streets of Auld Ayr battling The Storm
Without.
