Tana Collins

bestselling Inspector Jim Carruthers series set in the picturesque East Neuk of
Fife, Scotland and published by Bloodhound Books. Her novels have been

written five Inspector Jim Carruthers books, she is currently working on a
brand new cosy crime series.

the creator of DCI Frank Merlin, a Scotland Yard detective working in WW2
London. There are currently five published books in the series, shortly to be

Ellis is also a frequent contributor to history magazines and podcasts, mainly
specialising in the subject of British WW2 crime.

been published in English (translator, Quentin Bates); The Fox, Silenced,
Harm and Shrouded. Silenced was awarded Best Icelandic Crime
Novel of the Year and the book was also Iceland's contribution to the Glass
Key, the Nordic crime fiction award. Sólveig's writing style is characterized
by strong character creation, well-thought-out plots and a instinctive feeling
for Icelandic society and nature.
