The Albert Halls
Scotland the Grave: Marion Todd, Foday Mannah, Callum McSorley (online)
Sunday 14th September - 13:30
Scottish crime fiction is the broadest of churches, albeit often awfy sacrilegious. We round off the 2025 festival with three very different but excellent books to prove the point.
The murders of several young men form the grim premise of Dead Man’s Shoes, the ninth instalment of Marion Todd’s hugely popular DI Clare Mackay series. Scotland’s Sierra Leonean community is shocked by a callous murder in Foday Mannah’s compelling tale of corruption The Search for Othella Savage. Paperboy, the eagerly awaited follow-up to Callum McSorley’s fabulous McIlvanney Prize winning debut Squeaky Clean, is a darkly comic tour-de-force.
