Information

Two writing legends and fellow Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers bandmates come together to mark major publishing milestones in this special joint anniversary event. Chris Brookmyre celebrates thirty years of Jack Parlabane with Quite Ugly One Evening, a brilliantly twisty locked-room mystery set aboard an Atlantic cruise. Meanwhile, Doug Johnstone marks two decades in print with new work alongside the reissue of his cult classic The Ossians - a raw, darkly funny tale of a Scottish indie band on the edge. A fast-paced, joyous and irreverent hour of conversation with two of our favourite authors.
