Praise for The Pied Piper’s Poison:

‘Quite simply stunning.’
Brian Davis, Time Out

‘This young Edinburgh-based writer is the first discovery of the New Year. A superbly imagined, expertly executed two-stream historical novel, linking early Cold War Europe with the horrific legacy of the Thirty Years War.’
Scotsman

‘A grainy, honest attempt to probe those dark areas we give novelists sanction to investigate. As such, it is both highly ambitious and stunningly successful.’
Peter Whittaker, Independent

A dark satire set in Edinburgh, from the author of the highly-acclaimed The Pied Piper’s Poison.

With consummate skill, Christopher Wallace weaves a tale full of invention, ambiguity, unease and menace.
