Twentieth-century crime writing in the English speaking world has, until now, owed its punch to two cultures -- English and American. English crime was traditionally solved with wit and intellect in tales penned by the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy L. Sayers and Agatha Christie, while U.S. crimewriters such as Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler, spawned a generation of hard-boiled Private Eyes, men in trenchcoats and snapbrim fedoras who sat in quiet offices honing their morals. Something Wicked is the first-ever collection of Scottish crime fiction -- as a genre in Scotland it has never been as strong, and it flourished in diversity. This collection includes twenty-eight stories with extraordinary range, from social irony to real darkness, by both well-established and new contemporary writers. This is a dark, rich and original blend of the country's finest.
