A couple of years ago, I was more than somewhat chuffed to have a story- GUNS OF BRIXTON – in the eighth edition of Maxim Jakubowski‘s prestigious Mammoth Book Of Best British Crime.
And I’m doubly chuffed that Maxim has accepted another yarn- WHO KILLED SKIPPY? – for inclusion in the 10th edition, along with some stories from a host of top dog authors, such as Lee Child and Neil Gaiman.
And here is the full line-up for THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST BRITISH CRIME 10.
