'All I wanted to do was get out of Kilmarnock'
Eight years ago this month, Graeme Macrae Burnet announced himself as a Scottish author of note when his tricksy historical crime novel His Bloody Project contested the 2016 Man Booker Prize. He didn’t win on the night, but by then his book had sold twice as many copies as the novel which did, and he had broken new ground by becoming the first Scot to be shortlisted with a novel from a Scottish publisher – Contraband, an imprint of then Glasgow-based Saraband.
