USA launch for crime writer Mac Logan's latest books

Mac Logan appeared at Seattle’s Kenyon Hall to read extracts from his detective novels SLICE – the Angels’ Cut and its sequel, DICE – a Dark Art – from the Angels’ Share book series.

Mac, Colinsburgh Galloway Library Trust chairman, said: “I’ve a steadily growing number of readers in America and in Seattle in particular.

“Scottish crime writing has such a strong track record and seems to be increasingly popular across the Atlantic.

“It’s flattering and exciting that my readers organised this for me. All I have to do is turn up in a kilt which is fun in the USA – people love it.

“In Seattle they even brew a beer called Kilt-Lifter. Thankfully my kilt didn’t lift last time I tried it so my audience will be safe to enjoy the readings and Scottish banter!”

The Angels’ Share series follows Eilidh Duncan, a trainee investigative journalist, and her former soldier brother, the Reverend Sam Duncan, on a perilous life-threatening journey into the dark underworld of high-level establishment corruption.
