Presenting the case for the defence are four outstanding authors equally qualified as expert witnesses.

A Lesson in Cruelty, the fourth novel by former criminal barrister Harriet Tyce, is an object lesson in plotting and may be her darkest book yet. Kia Abdullah’s case file contains six legal thrillers, and Those People Next Door is further evidence of her rich talent. Leading criminal barrister Tony Kent’s explosive page-turner The Shadow Network is a blistering thrill-ride that will leave you breathless. Former U.S. Attorney – and director of the FBI – James Comey utilises all his vast experience in his acclaimed new novel Westport.

Barrister and author Imran Mahmood will rule until there are no further questions.Ticket Collection: All tickets for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival are to be collected from our on-site box office, located at the entrance of the Old Swan Hotel, from 3.00pm on Thursday 18 July 2024.
