Our debut writer panel is back with three extraordinary new talents. Hannah King draws on dark and twisting storytelling, relationships, class, mental health and addiction… with a few murders thrown in! Graeme Armstrong’s The Young Team is an energetic novel, full of the loyalty, laughs, mischief, boredom and violence of life on the streets. Ace of Spades by Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, who studied at the University of Aberdeen, is an incendiary and compelling thriller with a shocking twist that delves deep into institutionalized racism.
