Tariq Ashkanani

The Midnight King won the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year and was shortlisted for the Fingerprint Awards Crime Book of the Year, the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger Award, and longlisted for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year. Lucas Cole is a bestselling writer. A quiet and unassuming man, he's a beloved celebrity in his small town. Lucas Cole is also a serial killer. Nathan Cole has always known the truth about his father. But it isn't until Lucas is found dead that Nathan discovers The Midnight King, his father's fictionalised account of his hideous crimes, hidden in a box of trinkets taken from his victims. Trinkets that include a ribbon belonging to a missing girl who disappeared only days before Lucas's death. Now, Nathan must deal with the consequences of keeping his father's secret. But The Midnight King holds Nathan's secrets as well as Lucas's, and he is not the only one searching for the truth.
