Make no mistake, these are the stars of the future – and you're reading them here first. – Ian Rankin One of the most inspiring aspects of this collection is the ingenuity, the variety, and the originality of the writers. No two books are remotely alike, and there are no formulaic novels in here. There are psychological thrillers, procedurals with a twist, historical crime fiction, and novels that transcend all subgeneric categories. These novels give us the perspective of villains and detectives, but also of suspects, victims, and those who blur the line between all of these. There are novels from the perspective of police officers, cyber-security experts, probation officers, forensic linguists, geographical profilers, and forensic experts, professional and ‘unprofessional’ detectives, families out for vengeance, and vigilantes on the streets. – Laura Joyce The crime novel is a dynamic beast, no more so than now. At UEA we champion difference, the pushing of boundaries, experimentation and excellence. At the end of this volume – the second such anthology from graduating MA Crime Fiction students – I believe these ideas and ambitions, have been well and truly met. We have been taken on journeys both light and dark, across time and space, with integrity and rigour, insightfulness and humour. Always, however, we have been aware of not just talent and potential, but craft. – Henry SuttonDimitris Akrivos • Denise Beardon • Bob Jones • Femi Kayode • Roe Lane • Natalie Marlow • Nicola Monaghan • Niamh O'Connor • Louise Sharland • Peter Sibley • Mark Wightman • Matt Willis • Freya Wolfe

'A snapshot of what the crime novel is doing now and a glimpse of the directions it might take in the future' - Mick Herron'Crime fiction demands a flexible, sceptical framework for its own increasingly rude health. The eleven writers in this third MA Crime Fiction Anthology understand this. Irrespective of subject, setting, theme or prose style, each uses the multitudes of the crime genre to embrace and reflect who we are and how we live now. Each understands and respects the genre, even as they dismantle its traditions' - Tom Benn'The creative writing workshop is an environment that is built upon freedom, but also support. It's almost too magical a place, too idyllic, too democratic, too truthful. But I don't believe in magic, any more than I believe in the muse. What has happened in this space, which is ever expanding, over the last couple of years, has been an outpouring of talent and determination, by eleven extraordinary writers' - Henry SuttonFeaturing work by: Laura Ashton • Judi Daykin • Antony Dunford • Jayne Farnworth • Natasha Hutcheson • Louise Mangos • Elizabeth Saccente • Matthew Smith • Karen Taylor • Wendy Turbin • Bridget Walsh
