Allan Guthrie published five standalone crime novels between 2004 and 2013. Two-Way Split, his debut, follows a bank robber with a brain tumor and earned an Edgar Award nomination. Savage Night, Slammer, and Killing Mum each bring different angles to the Scottish crime fiction scene, from prison drama to domestic horror.
All five books share Guthrie’s trademark style: lean prose, dark comedy, and characters who are already in trouble when the story starts and only dig deeper. Fans of Irvine Welsh or Ray Banks will feel at home with Guthrie’s Edinburgh.
