Three Weeks: Ben Aaronovitch & Adam Oyebanji at Bloody Scotland!

Posted on Wednesday, August 20th, 2025

In three weeks, Ben Aaronovitch and Adam Oyebanji will be taking part in an event at the Bloody Scotland festival: “Murder Most Speculative”. The event is on September 12th, at 8:30pm. It is a ticketed event, and will also feature Nicholas Binge. Here’s what it’ll be about…

There’s some corner of the crime fiction field that is for ever slightly weird, stretching both the boundaries of the genre and your imagination, creating wonderful worlds of murder and mystery where anything can happen.

Ben is the internationally bestselling author of the Rivers of London series of novels and novellas. The latest book, STONE & SKY is out now, published by Gollancz/Orion in the UK, DAW Books in North America, and DTV in Germany. Here’s the synopsis…

‘This isn’t London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.’

Detective Sergeant Peter Grant takes a much-needed holiday up in Scotland. And he’ll need one when this is over…

If more’s the merrier, then it’s ecstatic as his partner Beverley, their young twins, his mum, dad, his dad’s band and their dodgy manager all tag along. Even his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, takes in the coastal airs as he trains Peter’s cousin Abigail in the arcane arts.

And they’ll need them too, because Scotland’s Granite City has more than its fair share of history and mystery, myth … and murder.

When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off.

Something may be stirring beyond the bay – but there’s something far stranger in the sky…

Adam is the author, most recently, of ESPERANCE, published by Arcadia in the UK. Here’s the synopsis…

The history-bending speculative fiction from Adam Oyebanji, award-winning author of BRAKING DAY.

An impossible death: Detective Ethan Krol has been called to the scene of a baffling murder: a man and his son, who appear to have been drowned in sea-water. But the nearest ocean is a thousand miles away.

An improbable story: Hollie Rogers doesn’t want to ask too many questions of her new friend, Abi Eniola. Abi claims to be an ordinary woman from Nigeria, but her high-tech gadgets and extraordinary physical abilities suggest she’s not telling the whole truth.

An incredible quest: As Ethan’s investigation begins to point towards Abi, Hollie’s fears mount. For Abi is very much not who she seems. And it won’t be long before Ethan and Hollie find themselves playing a part in a story that spans cultures, continents . . . and centuries.

An extraordinary speculative thriller about the scars left by the Atlantic slave-trade, by a master of the genre.

Lavie Tidhar’s NO ONE HEARS THE LAST SHOT Out Now in New eBook Edition!

Posted on Monday, August 11th, 2025

NO ONE HEARS THE LAST SHOT, a collection of acclaimed short fiction by Lavie Tidhar, is out now in a new eBook edition! Published by JABberwocky, here’s the synopsis…

A middle-aged hitwoman goes on the run from the Israeli mob; a boy on a South Pacific island searches for a missing cat and uncovers dark secrets; an ageing bagman has to recover a package across one violent night, no matter the cost; an informer must uncover the heist of a lifetime on the fringes of the Roman Empire, and Sherlock Holmes is faced with a confounding botanical mystery; while a pair of hapless actors are forced into a seedy mystery in Golden Age Hollywood.

Moving from the genteel English countryside to the mean streets of L.A. and from the islands of Vanuatu to the dark alleyways of Tel Aviv, this wide-ranging collection gathers together the best crime and noir stories of master storyteller Lavie Tidhar, including the CWA Dagger Award nominated “Bag Man” and much more besides.

Welcome to a world of gangsters and hired killers, of lost romantics and deadly women, of good times and lowlifes. Where it’s always the wrong part of town, and where whatever you do, there are no good choices…

Because when it comes, no one hears the last shot.

The print edition of the book is published in the UK by PS Publishing.

Here are just a few of the great reviews Tidhar’s fiction has received…

‘Lavie Tidhar lays it out like a dystopian dog!’ – James Ellroy

‘Tidhar changes genres with every outing, but his astounding talents guarantee something new and compelling no matter the story he tells.’ – Library Journal

‘Some write in ink, others in song, Tidhar writes in fire.’ – Junot Díaz

Simon R. Green’s WHICH WITCH? is Out Now!

Posted on Tuesday, August 5th, 2025

Simon R. Green‘s WHICH WITCH?, the third novel in the Holy Terrors series, is out today! Published by Severn House in North America and in the UK, here’s the synopsis…

Talented actress Diana and young bishop Alistair, her partner in crime-solving and supernatural sleuthing, face the terrifying curse of the Scottish Play in this witty, creeptastic paranormal mystery from New York Times bestselling British fantasy author Simon R. Green

Miles away from town or city, and centuries away from civilization, three witches dance around a great brass cauldron, singing songs of horror and hatred. The Crone raises her voice to ask: ‘When shall we three meet again?’ … only for the cauldron to emit a thick, poisonous smoke, sending her, and her fellow actresses, fleeing for their lives.

For the director, it’s the last straw. Macbeth is famously a cursed play, but the incident, not the first in a long line of creepy events, makes him wonder if someone – or something – is trying to sabotage the play. The show must go on! But not if the forces of darkness are determined for it not to.

Talented actress Diana Hunt, hired to give her Lady Macbeth, knows just the man to turn to for help: her partner in crime-solving, handsome young bishop Alistair Kincaid, whose help investigating a series of seemingly supernatural murders has earned them the nickname the Holy Terrors. But with evil and black magic wrapping the theatre in darkness, this investigation might cost Alistair and Diana far more than they’re expecting.

Severn House has also published the first two novels in Green’s series: THE HOLY TERRORS and STONE CERTAINTY.

Here are a just a few of the great reviews the series has received so far…

‘A sleek and appealing […] homage to vintage whodunits.’ — Kirkus Reviews on THE HOLY TERRORS

‘Perceptive and witty … Great fun’ — Booklist on THE HOLY TERRORS

‘Charming sleuths and bubbly dialogue add up to an appealing whodunit. A spirited cozy with a supernatural twist.’ — Kirkus on STONE CERTAINTY

‘The resolution to the mystery is satisfying, no matter the reader’s philosophical bent (skeptics and true believers will be equally happy). Another winner from this highly talented storyteller.’ — Booklist on STONE CERTAINTY

‘[F]ans of Green’s Ishmael Jones mysteries will appreciate the supernatural elements’ — Library Journal on STONE CERTAINTY

Shannon Mayer’s NEVERTHORN is Out Tomorrow in the UK!

Posted on Wednesday, July 23rd, 2025

NEVERTHORN, the highly-anticipated new Dark Academia novel from Shannon Mayer is due out tomorrow in the UK! To be published by Michael Joseph Books, here’s the synopsis…

Welcome to Neverthorn Academy.

Where a bunch of magical school misfits are about to save the world.

Or, more likely, die trying…

Since dropping out of Neverthorn Academy, after the death of her mother, Harlow Daygon has been working as an enchanted-jewel thief.

The last thing she expects is for the school to make an offer she can’t refuse: come back to Neverthorn and join seven others with secret magical abilities in House Phoenix. There, they’ll be trained in potions, rune casting and combat.

Because Nocta – a powerful dark wizard who has been plaguing the magical realm for decades – has the mortal world in his sights, and the students of House Phoenix are all that stand in his way.

But Harlow failed at Neverthorn once before. And nothing reminds her of this more than tall, brooding Typhon – Harlow’s old classmate and nemesis – who is now the professor tasked with unlocking her own, special power.

Except Harlow is sure that Typhon and the other professors are hiding a dark secret.

One she must figure out before Nocta arrives to bring about the end of the world…

NEVERTHORN will also be available as an audiobook, and as a Waterstone’s special edition, with fantastic sprayed edges (while stocks last)…
