The Bloody Scotland International Crime Writing Festival today released its longlist of candidates for the 2022 McIlvanney Prize.
• A Matter of Time, by Claire Askew (Hodder)
• The Sound of Sirens, by Ewan Galt (Leamington)
• The Blood Tide, by Neil Lancaster (HarperCollins)
• From the Ashes, by Deborah Masson (Transworld)
• The Heretic, by Liam McIlvanney (HarperCollins)
• Rizzio, by Denise Mina (Polygon)
• May God Forgive, by Alan Parks (Canongate)
• A Corruption of Blood, by Ambrose Parry (Canongate)
• A Rattle of Bones, by Douglas Skelton (Polygon)
• The Second Cut, by Louise Welsh (Canongate)
As Scottish Field observes, “Ten books are competing for the £1,000 award ... Two-and-a-half of the authors have won the prize before: Liam McIlvanney in 2018; Denise Mina in 2017; and Chris Brookmyre in 2016, who continues his lucky streak as 50% of ‘Ambrose Parry,’ having appeared on every longlist either as himself or half of his alter ego.”
From these 10 novels, a shortlist will be culled and finally announced in early September. This year’s winner is to be revealed at the start of the Bloody Scotland festival, September 15-18.
