The Lock-In

The Lock-In is the first new collection of short fiction by critically acclaimed author Tony Black in a decade. This thrilling anthology of crime fiction stories by the eight-times Crime Writers' Association (CWA) Dagger nominated author of the Gus Dury series includes a brand-new outing for the infamous protagonist, 'Dead On'. Also included is 'The Ringer', which was performed on stage by Outlander star Bryan Larkin; 'The Holy Father', a hilarious retelling of the nativity, set on a Scottish housing scheme; and 'Stone Ginger', a fast-paced London noir heist.

He has written more than twenty titles, including: The Storm Without (the first Doug Michie crime thriller), the Gus Dury series (Penguin Random House), Paying for It, Gutted, Loss, Long Time Dead, and Wrecked. Literary titles include His Father's Son and The Last Tiger (runner-up in The Guardian's Not The Booker Prize). Tony's short story collection Last Orders is also published by McNidder & Grace.
