Saturday 21st September 2019 - 10:00am
My Life With Murderers: Dr David Wilson with Lin Anderson
At the age of twenty-nine, Dr David Wilson became the UK’s youngest prison governor. It was the start of a long and distinguished career in which he spent his working life behind bars with some of the world’s most violent men.
He shared long hours with a variety of killers; sometimes over a tense interview, sometimes over a cup of tea, sometimes something a little stronger. He says that some of those men have become his friends. Others would like to kill him.
Dr Wilson will be discussing his life with murderers with an author who has written many a fine murder, Lin Anderson. Tickets

Sunday 22nd September 2019 - 12:45pm
Lin Anderson and Alex Gray
Spend an hour in the company of two great friends and great authors and enjoy the pleasure of eavesdropping as they talk about their career in books.
Lin is best known as the creator of the forensic scientist Rhona MacLeod thrillers. There are now 14 books in this consistently brilliant series, from the first, Driftnet, to the latest, Time for the Dead in which Rhona returns to her roots on the Isle of Skye. Alex Gray’s Lorimer series has also stood the test of time. There are now 17 hugely popular novels featuring the now Detective Superintendent William Lorimer. The latest is the Sunday Times top ten bestseller The Stalker. The body of a young woman is discovered in Bellahouston Park and Lorimer knows he has a repeat killer on his hands.
Chaired by Janice Forsyth.
