Earlier this month, organizers of the annual Bloody Scotland international crime-writing festival announced their shortlist of five contenders for this year’s Bloody Scotland Debut Prize. Now they’ve released the longlist of nominees for the 2024 McIlvanney Prize, named after author William McIlvanney, who passed away in 2015.
The dozen books and writers vying for that commendation are:
• A Divine Fury, by D.V. Bishop (Pan Macmillan)
• The Cracked Mirror, by Chris Brookmyre (Sphere)
• Kennedy 35, by Charles Cumming (HarperCollins)
• The Girl in the Loch, by Andrew James Greig (Storm)
• The Collapsing Wave, by Doug Johnstone (Orenda)
• The Winter List, by S.G. Maclean (Quercus)
• Past Lying, by Val McDermid (Sphere)
• Hunted, by Abir Mukherjee (Vintage)
• The Trials of Marjory Crowe, by C.S. Robertson (Hodder & Stoughton)
• A Spy Like Me, by Kim Sherwood (HarperCollins)
• Blood Runs Deep, by Doug Sinclair (Storm)
• The Hollow Mountain, by Douglas Skelton (Polygon)
This year’s McIlvanney Prize will be presented on Friday, September 13—the opening night of the 2024 Bloody Scotland Festival.
