Cold September

Cold September is an eclectic assortment of short stories, collected over a period of several years, from an author described by Publishers Weekly as ‘one of the rising stars of tartan noir.’ Featuring a rich mix of crime, the darkly comic, and the melancholically romantic – from the blisteringly short and brutal The Ringmaster, to the longer form, elegiac beauty of Aged Eight, Alice On The Shore, stopping off at myriad points along the way – Cold September perfectly displays the breadth and vision of Douglas Lindsay’s storytelling.
