A wonderful review of The Cost in the @TheScotsman . bit.ly/4jILrh5 @severnhouse @litagentfran @dawnsgeddes

The first in a new Tartan Noir mystery series by Bloody Scotland co-founder @GoJaBrown writing as Morgan Cry. Fans of VAL McDERMID, IAN RANKIN, DENISE MINA and WILLIAM McILVANNEY shouldn’t miss this intricately plotted, clever and suspenseful series.

We’re thrilled to be hosting Morgan Cry as he signs copies of his new crime thriller The Cost. One man’s race against time to track down a deadly narcotic before it hits the streets of the seaside hometown he thought he’d never return to.

Presenting our May Books of the Month! A cult phenomenon, a slice of cosy crime, a scintillating dark fantasy, a thoughtful meditation, an unclassifiable novel-cum-memoir, a YA romantasy and a heartpounding children's adventure.
