You pull out a decent Ian (M) Banks and you're on your way. An interesting aside on the apparent growth of the science fiction section - vampire books do not constitute sci-fi (well, not most of the time).
Initially, I was quite irked at the suggestion that my novel, Killing Daniel, belonged in the crime genre.
