Motives unknown : new Northern crime
2025
Book
Welcome to the North. Sprawling cities. Lawless rural landscapes. A long and unforgiving history. Here is where the winds blow cold and the nights are long. An actor takes his preparation a little too seriously. An elderly victim avenges a crime from decades past. Two children play a dangerous game with their classmates. A retired detective struggles with his recollections of an old case. From the Mersey to the Tyne, join us as we showcase twelve crime writers who have staked out the North of England for their criminal endeavours. From corrupt lawmen to desperate academics and police procedurals to cosy capers, this anthology shows that there is no shortage of talent and no lack of imagination in the northern wilds. Contributors: Lauren Archer, Beth Barker, Ewan A. Dougall, Stan Fenton, Ines Gregori Labarta, Peter Hardy, Dan Howarth, Andrew Hudson, David Lawrie, Joey McGarvey, Dawn Nicholson, and Abby Walker.
