Crime Scene Scotland was, for five years, a home for noir short stories, commentary and other nasty pieces of work.
Now the emphasis is on reviews, interviews and a celebration of the darker aspects of crime fiction.
Run by Russel D McLean (with a little help along the way from various sources) Crime Scene Scotland provides honest, intelligent reviews, probing interviews with authors new and old and commentary on the changing world of crime fiction.
If you have anything you would like to say on noir fiction, direct reviews and articles towards crimescenescotland@yahoo.co.uk for the attention of Russel and put CRIME SCENE SCOTLAND in the header.
