Bloody Scotland

In a Bloody Scotland first, we bring you a pre-recorded event from New Zealand where three leading Scottish writers will be on stage in Dunedin, in front of a live audience.

Val McDermid’s 1989 is the follow-up to the exceptional 1979. Journalist Allie Burns is back, stumbling over a story about HIV/AIDS against a backdrop of kidnap and murder. CS Robertson’s The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill is a spellbinding tale of loneliness and secrets, from a body in a Glasgow tenement to a missing teen on Bute. Liam McIlvanney’s long-awaited new novel The Heretic sees the return of DI Duncan McCormack to tackle brutal gang warfare in 1975 Glasgow.

Bloody Scotland

On the occasion of her 80th birthday, iconic international bestseller Donna Leon joins us live via video link up from her home in Switzerland to chat with Bloody Scotland founder, Alex Gray.

It was thirty years ago, in July 1992, that detective Guidi Brunetti made his first appearance in Leon’s debut novel Death at La Fenice. Since then, there has been a book a year in the much-loved series set amongst the surreal splendour of Venice. The books have been translated into 35 languages and won numerous awards in various countries. These are beautifully written novels, filled with elegant, witty prose and a searing humanity.

Join us to hear a legend of crime fiction talk about her extraordinary life in books.

Absolutely…Have so enjoyed all the Brunetti series and the wonderful descriptions of Venice and all his family life too. Should be a real treat to hear Donna Leon speaking with Alex Gray…🙂

One of my favourite authors. I always try to clear a few days when the latest book comes out. All the better to indulge myself in Venice

Have adored this series since the beginning.
