SUMMARY:Crime Central
DESCRIPTION:As the nights get darker\, Crime Central returns with three amazing authors and three new books to chill your bones. Rob Parker welcomes Fiona Erskine\, Luca Veste and Neil Broadfoot to Central Library! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiona Erskine\nEngineer by day\, writer by night. \nFiona was born in Edinburgh\, and grew up playing guitar\, riding motorbikes and jumping into cold water. After studying Chemical Engineering at University she learned to weld\, cast and machine with apprentices in Paisley before working internationally as a professional engineer. She is now based in the north east of England. \nHer latest novel\, Phosphate Rocks: A Death in Ten Objects is published by Sandstone Press in June 2021. \nFiona’s debut novel\, The Chemical Detective (2019)\, was shortlisted for the Specsavers Debut Crime Novel Award. Her second thriller in the Jaq Silver series\, The Chemical Reaction (2020)\, was shortlisted for the Staunch Prize. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuca Veste\nLuca Veste is a writer of Italian and Liverpudlian heritage\, married with two young daughters\, and one of nine children. He studied psychology and criminology at university in Liverpool. He is the author of the Murphy and Rossi series\, which includes DEAD GONE\, THE DYING PLACE\, BLOODSTREAM\, and THEN SHE WAS GONE. \nPart psychological thriller\, part police procedural\, his books follow the detective pairing of DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi. The novels are set in Liverpool\, bringing the city to life in a dark and terrifying manner…with just a splash of Scouse humour. \n“Astringent and artfully constructed.” The Financial Times \n“A darkly impressive novel… disturbing and intelligent.” The Times \n“A chilling début from a writer to watch…” Mark Billingham \n“Gripping\, unpredictable\, genuinely shocking and impossible to put down\, Dead Gone is a remarkable début.” Steve Mosby \n“A twisty\, psychological crime debut in a gritty setting: a new favourite for police procedural lovers” Clare Mackintosh \n“Tense and darkly playful.” Chris Ewan \nHe is a former civil servant\, actor\, singer and guitarist (although he still picks it up now and again)\, and now a full-time writer. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNeil Broadfoot\n“Neil should be better known and more widely read. A true rising star of crime fiction.” \n– Ian Rankin \nNeil Broadfoot worked as a journalist for 15 years at both national and local newspapers\, including The Scotsman\, Scotland on Sunday and the Evening News\, covering some of the biggest stories of the day. \nFalling Fast\, which was shortlisted for the Dundee International Book Prize\, is the first in the Edinburgh-set McGregor and Drummond series of thrillers. \nHis Stirling-set series\, which begins with No Man’s Land and features close protection expert Connor Fraser\, has been hailed as “tense\, fast moving and bloody” and “atmospheric\, twisty and explosive” with a “complex cast of characters and a compelling hero”. No Man’s Land was longlisted for the 2019 McIlvanney Award.
