‘Wish You Weren’t Here’ is a selection of stories contributed by members of Crime & Publishment, a yearly crime-writing masterclass based in Gretna, Scotland.

Some of the travellers have specific reasons to travel, some take a holiday to relax and reaffirm their futures together, except that once despatched by car, plane, train or ship, a number are fatally despatched themselves. The anticipated harmonious holidays become beset with deceits and conflicts which lead to awful events and dire consequences. Prepare to meet assailants, assassins, pre-meditated and impulse murderers, victims, witnesses and the innocent travellers placed at serious risk. There is intrigue, suspense, direct and implied violence, and blood... lots of spilled blood!
