Scottish author Lin Anderson, creator of the Forensic Scientist Rhona MacLeod series, will offer an insight into the secrets behind the crime thriller during a special visit to Darlington to help celebrate National Libraries Day.

Lin, who helped found the annual ‘Bloody Scotland’ crime writing festival, is also author of a second mystery thriller series featuring private investigator Patrick de Courvoisier. Set in Cannes, it is described as ‘the Rockford Files meets James Bond’.
