PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Attention to Books of Interest

Amazon.com: Hard Truths (Hard Truths crime writer interviews) eBook: Tony Black: Kindle Store: Hard Truths is an 85,000-word collection of interviews with the crime genre's most accomplished writers. 

As both an award-winning journalist and one of the most acclaimed crime writers of recent times Tony Black is uniquely placed to cross-examine crime fiction's bestselling authors. Names like Ian Rankin, Irvine Welsh, Andrew Vachss and William McIlvanney reveal the secrets of their craft in a series of interviews conducted over the last five years. 


Black takes an often no-holds-barred approach and pushes friendships to the limit as he teases out the truth on subjects as diverse as politics, the writing life, popular culture and personal histories. Always entertaining and often heartfelt these exchanges offer an entertaining, humorous and eclectic look at some of the genre's leading lights.
