A North Tyneside author's debut novel was named among the best new crime fiction to read in May by The Times ahead of its release on Thursday. Cullercoats writer Daniel James' debut novel The Unauthorised Biography of Ezra Maas was named alongside 1970s Glasgow gangster novel May God Forgive by Alan Parks and The Times' crime book of the month Dear Little Corpses by Nicola Upson. Described as a biography crossed with a novel, the novel is centred around journalist's search for the truth about the famously reclusive missing British artist Ezra Maas. Daniel James will be appearing at Newcastle City Library in conversation with writer Graeme Macrae Burnet on May 22 and on BBC Radio 4's Open Book programme on Sunday May 15.
