<p>Hi there Crimespace people. I have just joined here, on the recommendation of a friend from Goodreads.</p>

<p>Could anyone here recommend other authors who write in a similar vein (no pun intended) to the earlier Logan Mcrae books? Darkness, disturbing villains, graphic violence (but not just for the sake of it), etc?</p>
<p></p>
<p>One author who I found slightly similar was Mo Hayder, but I did not enjoy the characters in her books as much as Logan Mcrae and D.I. Steel ;-)</p>

<p>Any help would be much appreciated, thanks guys and girls.</p>

<p>Happy reading!</p>

<p>Scott</p> Agent Nat Sobel scouts author Stuart Neville from Thug Lit!tag:crimespace.ning.com,2008-05-14:537324:Topic:1408962008-05-14T13:50:18.832ZJosephine Damianhttp://crimespace.ning.com/profile/JosephineDamian
Stuart Neville, my Prince of Darkness, and the writer formerly known as "Conduit," has landed an agent - and not just any agent - but literary powerhouse and legend, Nat Sobel.<br />
<br />
His agency, Sobel Weber Associates, New York, represents a few scribes you might have heard of: James Ellroy (L.A. Confidential, The Black Dahlia, American Tabloid), Joseph Wambaugh (The Choirboys, The Onion Field, Hollywood Station), Pulitzer winner Richard Russo (Nobody's Fool, Empire Falls, Bridge of Sighs), F.X.…

Toole (Rope Burns - adapted for the screen as the multi Oscar winning Million Dollar Baby - and Pound for Pound), Robert Jordan (the Wheel of Time series), Tim Dorsey (the Serge Storms series), and many more.<br />
<br />
Oh, Nat also loves him some cats. My kind of guy.<br />
<br />
And how did Stuart get on the Uber agent’s radar? I’m going to steal a bit of Stuart’s thunder and reveal to my blog peeps that Mr. Sobel scouted him on the Internet. That’s right – a big name agent was scouring the online crime magazines and plucked our man from obscurity. (of course I’ve been singing Stuart’s praises loud and clear since last fall when I first read his work in Agent Nathan’s Bransford’s writing contest). To those of you that don’t believe agents are poking around the world wide web looking for The Next Big Thing – here’s your proof. Here. Is. Your. Proof.<br />
<br />
So do stop by and give a big shout out to the literary world’s best and brightest rising star!<br />

Having already read Stuarts’s manuscript (it already holds the distinction of being only one of four books I liked well enough to finish this year) GHOSTS OF BELFAST, I can tell you it’s nothing by clover ahead for this blessed son of Northern Ireland.
