About two and a half months after announcing their longlist of nominees for the 2024 McIlvanney Prize, organizers of the annual Bloody Scotland international crime-writing festival have released their shortlist of five contenders:
• Past Lying, by Val McDermid (Sphere)
• The Cracked Mirror, by Chris Brookmyre (Abacus)
• Hunted, by Abir Mukherjee (Vintage)
• A Spy Like Me, by Kim Sherwood (HarperCollins)
• A Divine Fury, by D.V. Bishop (Pan Macmillan)
This year’s McIlvanney recipient will be revealed on the festival’s opening night, which is Friday, September 13.
Presented annually since 2012, the McIvanney Prize is named in honor of Scottish author William McIlvanney, who passed away in 2015. Previous recipients include Charles Cumming, Peter May, Denise Mina, Francine Toon, and Alan Parks.
