Granite Noir 2025: A Kind of Magic with TL Huchu & Courtney Smyth
Chaired by Eris Young
The Undetectables are back in Courtney Smyth’s witty, witchy fantasy murder mystery, The Undead Complex, packed with ancient magic and fiendish puzzle, in which the investigators are hired to solve a murder by the victim herself. The Legacy of Arniston House is the spellbinding fourth instalment of the Edinburgh Nights series by T.L. Huchu in which a wannabe magician who can speak to the dead, becomes caught in the tendrils of a cult, hell-bent on resurrecting an ancient power.
