  • Fiction and Non-Fiction
    SANDSTONE PRESS FICTION AND NON-FICTION 2018 JANUARY TO JUNE Dear Reader, The astonishing success of Sky Atlantic’s German language crime series, Babylon Berlin, will not have escaped the notice of anyone who reads this catalogue. Volker Kutscher’s brilliant Gereon Rath series is now six books into a projected eight (with a ninth to follow, but that’s different as you will see in time). Sandstone published Babylon Berlin in 2016, The Silent Death in 2017 (which will also be adapted for TV), and in 2018 will publish Goldstein. We have a lot more great fiction in the first half of 2018. Our lead debut novel is by the distinguished young columnist, and co-founder of The Vagenda, Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett. Watch out for this one as The Tyranny of Lost Things is going to make quite a stir, alongside Celestial Bodies, our first translation from Arabic, by the Omani author, Jokha Alharthi. After the hugely successful first edition, we are bringing Clifton Bain’s The Ancient Pinewoods of Scotland back onto the shelves, a milestone book for Sandstone. We are also proud to welcome mountaineer and television personality Cameron McNeish into our stable of outdoor authors with his highly anticipated autobiography There’s Always the Hills. Retailers (and other fans) will note that Cameron’s foreword is provided by Outlander star Sam Heughan, his first venture into the world of print. Adding to our list of running books will be Jonny Muir’s The Mountains Are Calling, a history and personal memoir of hill running in Scotland, following his now classic and perennially selling, Isles at the Edge of the Sea.
