Baskerville is the distinctive literary crime and thriller imprint of John Murray, dedicated to publishing books that haunt the imagination. Revelling in characters who live in the shadows and have an outsider’s view of society, our books aren’t defined by period or geography but by the very best writing and a desire to defy expectation.
