Graeme Macrae Burnet
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2016
A BBC Radio 4 Book Club pick
Discover Graeme Macrae Burnet’s groundbreaking Booker-shortlisted novel featuring authentic Highland voices and the author narrating his own introduction. A captivating documentary-style production that is also a mind-bending work of metafiction.
“A fiendishly readable tale.” The Guardian
“An astonishing piece of writing” The Telegraph
“Gripping, blackly playful and intelligent.” The Times
The year is 1869. A brutal triple murder in a remote community in the Scottish Highlands leads to the arrest of a young man by the name of Roderick Macrae.
A memoir written by the accused makes it clear that he is guilty, but it falls to the country's finest legal and psychiatric minds to uncover what drove him to commit such merciless acts of violence. Was he mad? Only the persuasive powers of his advocate stand between Macrae and the gallows.
In this, Graeme Macrae Burnet tells an irresistible and original story about the provisional nature of truth, even when the facts seem clear. His Bloody Project is a mesmerising literary thriller and set in an unforgiving landscape where the exercise of power is arbitrary.
