The 2015 Bloody Scotland Crime Book of the Year was announced at the festival in September, with the award going to Craig Russell for ‘The Ghosts of Altona’. Click here to see our roundup from the awards dinner.

With a clever storyline that jumps skilfully between contemporary Hamburg and the same city in the early 20th century, ‘The Ghosts of Altona’ sees Russell’s long-running detective Jan Fabel haunted by the discovery of a body from his first-ever case fifteen years ago, that of a cruel, beautiful student.
