Ambrose Parry
Ambrose Parry is the penname for two very different authors – the internationally bestselling and multi-award-winning Chris Brookmyre and consultant anaesthetist of twenty years’ experience, Dr Marisa Haetzman. Inspired by the gory details Haetzman uncovered during her History of Medicine degree, the couple teamed up to write a series of historical crime thrillers, featuring the darkest of Victorian Edinburgh’s secrets. They are married and live in Scotland.
The Way of All Flesh, The Art of Dying and A Corruption of Blood were shortlisted for the McIlvanney Prize for Scottish Crime Book of the Year. Their most recent book in the series, A Corruption of Blood, was shortlisted for the CWA Historical Dagger.

“A rip-roaring tale of murder amid the medical experiments of 19th-century Edinburgh”
An early recommendation (from none other than Ian Rankin) for Ambrose Parry’s upcoming The Way of All Flesh.
