Thirteen spellbinding novel extracts by the 2024 graduates of UEA's MA in Creative Writing Crime Fiction.

Open the cover of this book and step into thirteen different worlds. Journey to 1929 Whitby to witness exsanguinated bodies fished from the sea; join the hunt for the truth within a post-apocalyptic community; visit the near future for a re-telling of Titus Andronicus; sail into the turbulent waters of a cruise turned murder investigation; trade coffees for life stories in Liguria with murder on the menu; head to rural Scotland where a succession feud exposes dark family secrets; then to Los Angeles where three lost souls converge seeking vindication; travel to Tokyo to watch a photographer documenting a series of murders; see an Italian journalist writing a murder story to save her marriage; track a lawless spycop fighting to conceal his past; fly to Madrid where selling your home may seal your fate; crack open the sins and secrets of Egg County; and finally, book a room in a Gothic hotel troubled by an unseen voice.

A baker's dozen of wildly divergent works of fiction by thirteen talented new writers, all carefully crafted to captivate, provoke, absorb, appal and, above all, entertain.
