Chris Brookmyre’s first novel, Quite Ugly One Morning, won the First Blood Award in 1996 for the best first crime novel of the year. Twenty-six further novels have followed, garnering him two Sherlock awards and the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize for Comic Writing in 2006. In 2005 he was named Glasgow University Young Alumnus of the Year and in 2007 he won the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Award for writing. In 2016 his novel Black Widow won the inaugural McIlvanney Prize for best Scottish crime novel of the year. In 2017 it was named the Theakston’s Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year. Under the pseudonym Ambrose Parry, he has collaborated with his wife, Marisa Haetzman, to produce the historical crime novels The Way of All Flesh, The Art of Dying and A Corruption of Blood, which depict life at the cutting edge of Edinburgh medicine in the Nineteenth Century. His work has been adapted for stage, television, radio and even, in the case of Bedlam, a video game. For reasons passing all understanding, he continues to be a season ticket holder at St Mirren FC.
