The Daily Record and Sunday Mail has launched Crime Week, publishing short stories every day to keep readers entertained during lockdown.
Running from Monday 20 April to Sunday 27 April, Crime Week will see some of the UK’s best crime writers release gripping short stories each day.
Published every day in the Daily Record, Crime Week promises a reading event not to be missed.
Kicking off on Monday 20 April is a short story by Steve Cavanagh.
Perhaps best know for the Eddie Flynn novels, each of Cavanagh’s novels have either been nominated for awards, or have won awards internationally.
Tuesday’s Daily Record will include works by Douglas Skelton and Liam McIlvanney.
Scots writer Skelton’s tartan noir has gained him an arm of fans worldwide, his latest novel The Blood is Still, A Rebecca Connolly Thriller was released this year to high acclaim.
Joining Skelton on Tuesday will be a short story written by fellow Scot Liam McInvanney. His book The Quaker won the 2018 McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year.
Wednesday’s paper will feature a short story by Alex Gray. Gray is perhaps most known as co-founder of Bloody Scotland, Scotland’s first international crime writing festival, and for her Lorimer series of novels.
Thursday’s issue will feature work by Ragnar Jonasson, Friday’s pages will see Craig Robertson’s words grip readers, and a Stuart McBride short story will be the penultimate addition.
Denise Mina will close Crime Week with a short story in the Sunday Mail out on Sunday on April 27.
