The Twilight Time

PERFECT FOR FANS OF SUSIE STEINER

You are a police officer. This is what you do. You speak for the dead, and the desperate living.

Anna Cameron is a new Sergeant in the Flexi Unit. On her first day in the new job she discovers shell be working with her ex, Jamie. In at the deep end emotionally, shes also plunged headlong into the violent underworld of Glasgows notorious Drag - the haunt of working girls, drug dealers and sad, seedy men.

Cath Worth, Jamies wife, watches jealously from the sidelines, having given up police work to raise their child. Annas life could have been hers; hers could have been Annas. When Cath attempts to get involved in a situation she is no longer equipped or entitled to tackle, the consequences for both women could be far-reaching..

Atmospheric, affecting and beautifully written, THE TWILIGHT TIME is a stunning crime debut from a remarkably talented new writer.

Praise for Karen Campbell

Gritty as all hell, shot through with black humour and with enough pace and atmosphere to give the likes of Denise Mina a run for their money. All this and the chutzpah to create a seedy and unpleasant superintendent named Rankin!

The plot is wonderful, the characterisation of a family in crisis is both sharp and sympathetic, and the author does not shy away from examining the less palatable aspects of relations between the police and the public

I loved it . . . Anna is a great, original character and Karen Campbell has a great way with images
Kate Atkinson

Karen Campbell deserves to be admitted to membership of whats becoming a very large club - Scottish crime writers of excellence . . . As to be expected from a former police officer, Campbell portrays her milieu with harsh authenticity, and Anna Cameron is wholly believable in her unheroic role. Glasgow and its citizens are described with vivid passion
