These five short stories and novellas bring back Quintin Jardine’s popular Edinburgh investigator Oz Blackstone, more than a decade after the main Oz Blackstone novel series ended with For the Death of Me in 2005. Published between 2016 and 2018, these shorter works gave Jardine a way to revisit the character without committing to full-length novels.
The stories are self-contained mysteries that work best for readers already familiar with Oz and his world. They include Born to Be Wild, The Quasimodo Trunk, Miller Time, Resurrection, and Green Bananas and Oz. Each one is a quick read compared to the novels, but they carry the same wry tone and Edinburgh atmosphere that made the original series popular.
