Location, location, location. A great novel deserves a great setting, and this panel celebrates the importance of place and identity in a crime novel as we meet four writers whose stories are uniquely rooted in the landscapes they are set in.

Ian Moore’s delightful Death In Le Jardin is a hilarious murder mystery set amid the idyllic splendour of the Loire Valley. Saima Mir portrays the grim heart of England’s industrial north in Vengeance, the thrilling sequel to her groundbreaking debut The Khan. Chris Whitaker’s extraordinary All The Colours Of The Dark, takes us from small town America to an epic countrywide odyssey. The sprawling megacity of Lagos in Nigeria is the perfect setting for Femi Kayode’s highly acclaimed second novel Gaslight.

Author C.S. Robertson’s place is in the chair.
