New Crime & Mystery Fiction Titles From Polygon OCT-DEC 07

Allan Guthrie Two-way Split Pbk published October 2007 by Polygon at £6.99 ISBN: 1846970423

Edinburgh, dead of winter Robin Greaves is an armed robber whose professionalism is put to the test when he discovers his wife has been sleeping with a fellow gang member. Robin plans the ultimate revenge, but things go from bad to worse when the gang bungles a post office robbery, leaving carnage in their wake. Suddenly they are stalked by the police, sleazy private eyes, and a cold-blooded killer who may be the only one not looking for a cut of the money. This lean and muscular crime caper with a seriously twisted dark side was shortlisted for the CWA Debut Dagger in the UK.

Two-way Split is an explosive introduction to the raw talent of Allan Guthrie, one of crime fiction's hottest new writers.

"In the tradition of Irvine Welsh and Ian Rankin, Allan Guthrie chronicles life in the underbelly of Edinburgh with dazzling grace. Two-way Split is a hard-edged, fast paced noir thriller with outstanding dialogue and plenty of unforgettable bad guys. It's Scottish crime fiction with a unique American hard-boiled twist." Jason Starr, author of Twisted City

Allan Guthrie Savage Night Pbk published October 2007 by Polygon at £8.99 ISBN: 1846970199


How much blood would you spill to avenge those you love? What if you're a blithe haemophobic psychopathic ex-con from Edinburgh? Andy Park thinks he's discovered a way to make a care worker pay for his ill-treatment of Park's brain-damaged wife, Liz. But Park isn't prepared for the fall-out. Because in Park's world, when things go wrong, they go spectacularly wrong. Before long, Park's teenage son is in mortal danger, his daughter and her fiance are cutting up corpses, and Old Mrs Yardie's country cottage has been requisitioned for the purposes of kidnapping an erstwhile tobacco smuggler. And yet Park's world is a bed of roses in comparison to Tommy Savage's. Savage is being blackmailed by a masked man known only as Mr Smith - for what, he has no idea. A near-fatal accident in an abandoned apartment results in Tommy and his brother, Phil, heading to a graveyard with only a couple of swords and a bag of cash for company. Will they survive the night? Will anyone?
