Cold September

Cold September is an eclectic assortment of short stories, collected over a period of several years, from an author described by Publishers Weekly as 'one of the rising stars of tartan noir.' Featuring a rich mix of crime, the darkly comic, and the melancholically romantic – from the blisteringly short and brutal The Ringmaster, to the longer form, elegiac beauty of Aged Eight, Alice On The Shore, stopping off at myriad points along the way – COLD SEPTEMBER perfectly displays the breadth and vision of Douglas Lindsay's storytelling.Contains: Aged Eight, Alice On The ShoreIron Man (DI Westphall )The Tarantino VersionOne More Cup of CoffeeThe Elephant At The TableTouch Of The Spider (DI Westphall )The RingmasterFlying BirdsThe ArtistThe Case Of The Stained Glass Widow (Redux) (DCI Jericho)Cold September, And There's Reason To BelieveApril In Paris Reviewers on Douglas Lindsay's books: "e;Gleefully macabre, hugely enjoyable black burlesque."e; The Scotsman"e;Douglas Lindsay is someone deserving to be spoken of as a master."e; Shots"e;This is pitch-black comedy spun from the finest writing.
