Books by Tony Black

In a cold, windswept field on the outskirts of Edinburgh, lies the brutally mutilated body of a young woman.

'The Inglorious Dead' is the long anticipated follow up to 'The Storm Without' by the critically acclaimed crime writer Tony Black and features the return of Burns quoting Doug Michie.

Four teenagers find the mutilated corpse of a young girl stuffed into a dumpster in an Edinburgh alleyway. His superiors think that the case of the dumpster girl will be perfect to get him back on track. What he discovers about the murdered girl blows the case - and his life - wide open.

How can he keep the promises he has made and still avenge his brother's murder?Loss, Tony Black's third novel about washed-up hack turned private investigator Gus Dury, is absolutely gripping - a labyrinth of violence, secrets and emotion.

When the gangland owner of a pit bull that killed a three-year-old girl is found gutted on an Edinburgh hill Gus Dury is asked to investigate, and soon finds himself up to his neck in the warring underworld of the city's sink estates.

But now he is living on the edge, a drink away from Edinburgh's down-and-outs, drifting from bar to bar, trying not to sign divorce papers.
