We set off with Love, Pain, Guilt, Sex and Drugs, in which Edinburgh-based writer Lee Carrick, the Jack Kerouac of South Shields, shares snatches from his nomadic lifestyle.
Then we leave behind the mystic ruins of South India and the idyllic islands of Thailand to take the ferry to that hotbed of crime, the... erm... Isle of Arran, where there’s a cold case to be solved in A Mysterious Stranger, a wee piece of Tartan Noir from the pen of our favourite Ayrshire scribbler, Angus Shoor Caan.
Enjoy!
