«Das Alphabet der Knochen» is a mystery novel by Louise Welsh, published by Goldmann in paperback (428 pages, in German).
Murray Watson, a literature professor in Glasgow, focuses his research on Archie Lunan, a minor poet drowned thirty years earlier off the Scottish coast. Watson hopes that rehabilitating the poet's memory will allow him to straighten out his own life, but what he discovers about Lunan makes that redemption increasingly difficult.
The work was originally published in 2010 as «Naming the Bones»; the German translation is by Wolfgang Müller.
The novel is aimed at readers of mystery and literary suspense, with a Scottish setting and an academic protagonist.
Louise Welsh is an English-born author of short stories and psychological thrillers, resident in Glasgow, Scotland. She has also written three plays, an opera, edited volumes of prose and poetry, and contributed to journals and anthologies. In 2004, she received the Corine Literature Prize.
