Awards//获奖情况： Scottish Best New Writer
Compare Karen Campbell with Ian Rankin at his best
犯罪驚悚媲美暢銷作家伊恩．藍欽(Ian Rankin)

’This is 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!’---Mark Billingham

’THE TWILIGHT TIME, powered by stiletto-sharp prose, is a pertinent expose of the contamination seeping into lives from prostitution and a drugs economy ruled by money-laundering thugs. But against this background, her story also vividly illustrates the physical and emotional damage caused to police officers by the vile reality of their work.’ ---The Herald

’I don’t remember the last time that I read a police novel which made me feel that I was spying on that world so much. As a bonus, Campbell happens to be a very talented, natural storyteller.’---Morning Star
