Catriona McPherson Book Launch


Thurs 3rd August, 7pm
Ottakers, Dumfries

Launching the second Dandy Gilver mystery from Dumfries and Galloway's very own Queen of Crime, Catriona McPherson. Rsvp to dumfries@ottakers.co.uk.

'The Burry Man's Day'. Catriona's first book, After the Armistice Ball, which goes into paperback on the same day, sold out two hardback print runs and was short-listed for a prestigious Dagger Award last year.

"effortlessly balances the driest wit with melodramatic suspense" The Scotsman
"McPherson is onto a winner" Scotland on Sunday

'After the Armistice Ball' was set in D&G. The new novel takes place on the banks of the Forth but there is a prominent D&G tourist attraction which Catriona has borrowed as a location for a lot of the action. If you can spot which D&G landmark appears in the book, you could win the chance to do the same yourself! Send the answer in by email or post and you will be entered in a draw to have a character with your name appear in the third Dandy Gilver novel next year.
