(Allan Guthries neuer Roman ist ein dunkler Trip durch sec...)
Allan Guthries neuer Roman ist ein dunkler Trip durch sechs fieberhafte Stunden in Edinburgh - hypnotisierend, schockierend und urkomisch! Tommy Savage wird erpresst und hat keine Ahnung, warum und von wem. Andy Park hingegen glaubt endlich zu wissen, wie er seine Feinde drankriegen kann, obwohl er beim Anblick von Blut jedes Mal das Bewusstsein verliert. Und dann ist da noch Mr. Smith, der dauernd Skimasken trägt und seine Zunge herausstreckt. Aber was will er wirklich? Tommy ist sich nicht sicher, doch der Berg von Leichen lässt ihn vermuten, dass dieser Mann es ernst meint ... Zwei verfeindete Familien, ein Haufen Bargeld, ein paar Schwerter und eine geballte Ladung Wut - die perfekte Kombination für eine haarsträubende Nacht in Schottlands Hauptstadt.

(How much blood would you spill to avenge those you love? ...)
How much blood would you spill to avenge those you love? Andy Park passes out at the sight of blood, but he thinks he's discovered a way to make his family's enemies pay. He isn't prepared for the fall-out, though. Before long, his teenage son is in mortal danger, and his daughter and her fiance are knee-deep in corpses. Meanwhile, a masked man known as Mr Smith is blackmailing Tommy Savage - for what, he has no idea. After an attempt to gain the upper hand has near-fatal results, Tommy and his brother find themselves heading to a graveyard with only a couple of swords and a bag of cash for company. A blood-pumping tragi-comedy of love and violence, "Savage Night" unfolds over six frenetic hours in Scotland's capital city.

(Edinburgh, dead of winter Robin Greaves is an armed robbe...)
Edinburgh, dead of winter Robin Greaves is an armed robber whose professionalism is put to the test when he discovers his wife has been sleeping with a fellow gang member. Robin plans the ultimate revenge, but things go from bad to worse when the gang bungles a post office robbery, leaving carnage in their wake. Suddenly they are stalked by the police, sleazy private eyes, and a cold-blooded killer who may be the only one not looking for a cut of the money. This lean and muscular crime caper with a seriously twisted dark side was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger in the UK. TWO-WAY SPLIT is an explosive introduction to the raw talent of Allan Guthrie, one of crime fiction's hottest new writers. "In the tradition of Irvine Welsh and Ian Rankin, Allan Guthrie chronicles life in the underbelly of Edinburgh with dazzling grace. TWO-WAY SPLIT is a hard-edged, fast paced noir thriller with outstanding dialogue and plenty of unforgettable bad guys. It's Scottish crime fiction with a unique American hard-boiled twist." -Jason Starr, author of TWISTED CITY

Newly minted prison officer Nicholas Glass has fallen in with the wrong crowd at "The Hilton," a Scottish prison for violent offenders. The problem is, there's no right crowd. Bullied and abused by inmates and colleagues alike, Glass finds that each day is getting longer than the one before. When a group of cons use outside help to threaten his wife and daughter, he agrees to do them a 'favor'. But, as their threats escalate, and one favor leads to another, he grows ever closer to breaking point. And when Glass breaks, he shatters... Slammer is a mile-a-minute thriller shot through with Guthrie's unique blend of dark humor and ultra-violent mayhem. His previous books have been lauded as "gripping noir" (Entertainment Weekly) and "character driven and exciting" (Cleveland Plain Dealer).
