Easy Motion Tourist
Leye Adenle
£8.99 £8.54The debut novel by crime writer, Leye Adenle, takes us on an eye-opening tour of the underbelly of Lagos. A fresh, brutal, original work that was been praised by non other than James Ellroy.
The Acapulco: The breathtaking serial-killer thriller kicking off an addictive series
Simone Buchholz
£9.99 £9.49
Red Riding Nineteen Seventy Four
David Peace
£8.99 £8.54I lived in Leeds for over fifteen years. I adored the place, so the Red Riding series by David Peace is simultaneously an odd and fitting choice. It really rises from the streets of the towns and cities of Yorkshire - it is dark, and shot through with a nihilistic streak, and yet has managed to capture the imagination of so many people from the area. A really savage, original take on crime writing, absolutely permeated by a strong sense of place and time.
The Box: a heart-stopping read packed with suspense, from the bestselling author of The Regret
Dan Malakin
£8.99 £8.54
Ghost Country
Chris Petit
£9.99 £9.49I first discovered Chris Petit through one of his films, Radio On, a black and white road movie in the style of Wim Wenders. That was ample demonstration of a distinctive style that bleeds into his fiction. A modern, timely literary thriller.
Nick's Trip: From Co-Creator of Hit HBO Show ‘We Own This City’
George Pelecanos
£9.99 £9.49I picked up Nick's Trip not really expecting anything and was immediately taken by its low-key, indie feel. Pelecanos has since gone on to some critical and commercial success (writing for The Wire, for instance) and so I don't know how much he needs our help to be discovered - however, if you haven't come across him before, now's your chance.
Conan Doyle for the Defence: A Sensational Murder, the Quest for Justice and the World's Greatest Detective Writer
Margalit Fox
£12.99 £12.34It was a surprise to learn that Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the Sherlock Holmes stories, had also played real-life detective in a couple of quite remarkable cases himself! This book is about one of those cases.
The Score: A Parker Novel
Richard Stark
£14.00I first read about this book in another title in this list - A Burglar's Guide to the City. The author of that book (geoff Managua) was enamoured of the scale and originality of the plot of The Score - to rob an entire city in one night. Incidentally, Manaugh goes on to explain just why this is such a viable idea!)
The Midnight Hour: Twisty mystery from the bestselling author of The Locked Room
Elly Griffiths
£8.99 £8.54
A Bit of a Stretch: The Diaries of a Prisoner
Chris Atkins
£10.99 £10.44Not so much a book about crime as the consequences of crime: an illuminating look at the author's time spent in prison. The story of what he did to end up there is interesting in itself (tax fraud to finance a film) and his other work (including a documentary about pop group The KLF) just added to the attraction of this title!
The Crossing Places: Ruth Galloway's first mystery - start this megaselling series here
Elly Griffiths
£9.99 £9.49
Killing Jericho: The award-winning crime thriller like no other
William Hussey
£14.99 £14.24First, and shame it needs saying, but it's really good to see a novel with a Traveller as the main character who is not reduced to a stereotype. Secondly, it's a great read!
The Seventh: A Parker Novel
Richard Stark
£14.00Another Richard Stark novel seems a nice fit for this list because the University of Chicago Press have been dusting off parker novels and bringing to a new audience. So, why not try 'The Seventh'?
Red Riding Nineteen Eighty
David Peace
£9.99 £9.49Peace continues his mower-day epic, set amidst the confusion and fear of the Yorkshire Ripper murders.
Red Riding Nineteen Seventy Seven
David Peace
£9.99 £9.49The second in David Peace's Red Riding series, and possibly even darker than the first.
