Colin Cotterill has contributed to several multi-author anthologies that align with his interests in age, mystery, and tropical settings. Damn Near Dead (2006) gathers crime stories featuring elderly protagonists, a natural fit for the creator of the septuagenarian Dr. Siri.
A Study in Sherlock (2011) finds Cotterill paying tribute to Arthur Conan Doyle, while Sunshine Noir (2016) places crime fiction in warm, sun-drenched locations – the kind of settings where Cotterill has spent much of his life and set most of his fiction.
