Colin Bateman contributed to The Mammoth Book of Best British Crime 8, a 2011 anthology edited by Maxim Jakubowski. The annual Mammoth Book of Best British Crime series collects the best crime short fiction from writers across the UK and Ireland, and Bateman’s inclusion reflects his standing in the genre.
Bateman’s crime fiction, whether in novel or short form, is known for blending Belfast settings with sharp humor and tight plotting. His contribution to this anthology sits alongside work from other prominent crime writers and offers a sample of his style for readers who may not have encountered his longer work.
