Claire Askew & Kate Foster: Tales of Two Edinburghs
What is it about the Scottish capital that makes it such fertile ground for fictionalised mystery? Claire Askew’s The Dead Don’t Speak sees DI Helen Birch drawn back into action when an anonymous vigilante starts stalking the streets of Edinburgh. Kate Foster’s thriller, The Maiden, is inspired by the real-life trial of a 17th century Edinburgh woman charged with murder. Join two writers securing Scotland’s reputation for world-class crime fiction. Chaired by Susan Mansfield.
