Festival season is upon us. A reminder: I’ll be at the Edinburgh Book Festival on August 25 talking in detail about the task of taking The Killing from screen to page. The talk is part of the festival’s master class series and will be accompanied by an audiovisual slide show looking at the series itself and the manuscript as it developed.

In October I’ll be at the Durham Book Festival talking crime with my good friends Ann Cleeves and Barry Forshaw. The event is at 2.30pm on Sunday October 28 in Durham Town Hall.
