Crime Writers: A Decade of Crime
(2013)
An anthology of brilliant stories by some of the world’s most successful crime writers. Mark Billingham, Ann Cleeves, Harlen Coben, P.D. James, Val McDermid and Steve Mosby all contributed these stories – some of them never published before – for this special collection to tie in with the famous annual Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, held in Harrogate. With an Introduction by Woman’s Hour’s Jenni Murray.
Mark Billingham has twice won the Theakston’s Old Peculier Award for Best Crime Novel, and has also won a Sherlock Award for the Best Detective created by a British writer.
Before becoming a full-time writer, Ann Cleeves worked as a bird observatory cook, auxiliary coastguard, probation officer and in public libraries. She lives on the north east coast of England with her ornithologist husband.
Harlan Coben is the internationally bestselling author of more than twenty previous novels, including the #1 New York Times bestsellers Stay Close, Live Wire, Caught, Long Lost, Hold Tight, and Six Years.
P.D. James has written eighteen novels, fourteen of which feature the poet-detective Adam Dalgliesh, and two non-fiction books. She is the lifelong President of the Society of Authors. She was awarded the OBE in 1983 and created Baroness James of Holland Park in 1991.
Val McDermid is an international number one bestseller. Her books are translated into more than 40 languages.
Steve Mosby is the author of seven psychological thrillers. His books have been widely translated, and in 2012 he won the CWA Dagger in the Library.
Jenni Murray is the Presenter of Woman’s Hour.
