Ian Rankin

A stunning collection of chilling short stories from the queen of the psychological thriller.
White nights of passion and revenge in St. Petersburg.
A bingo-hall tyrant trapped by masked intruders.
The sleazy flipside of the international publishing scene.
Nineteen nail-biting, intense and intricately plotted crime stories from one of the UK's greatest psychological thriller writers, this diverse collection demonstrates the scope of Val McDermid's imagination and her immense powers as a storyteller.
