MEET…  THE FUN LOVIN’ CRIME WRITERS
VAL McDERMID, CHRIS BROOKMYRE, MARK BILLINGHAM, LUCA VESTE, DOUG JOHNSTONE, STUART NEVILLE


Having temporarily put down their pens and picked up guitars, this crime-writing super-group happily murder much-loved songs by The Clash, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, The Beatles, Talking Heads, The Jam, Johnny Cash and many others who are currently considering legal action. They’ll be talking about their books (between them, they have sold over 20 million copies worldwide and won every major crime-writing award) but they’ll almost certainly be rounding the evening off with a few tunes! If toe-tapping tales of blood and badness are your thing, you cannot afford to miss this amazing band of best-sellers.
Murder on the dancefloor is guaranteed…
