Exposing tricky lawyers

Best-selling Scottish crime fiction writer Quintin Jardine will be in Wellington on Tuesday 4 September to talk about his new novel, Death’s Door, as part of the New Zealand Book Council’s ‘Written in Blood’ crime fiction series.

The author of two much-acclaimed series of detective novels, Jardine regularly outsells John Grisham in Scotland, and even knocked J.K. Rowling off the top spot one year.

Jardine’s novels reveal middle-class Edinburgh. ‘Exposing tricky lawyers … that’s what floats my boat,’ he says.

He will be talking with crime fiction enthusiast Steve Joll about his murderous occupation.

Also appearing in Wellington as part of the ‘Written in Blood’ event series is internationally renowed forensic anthropologist and novelist, Kathy Reichs, who will be here in September, and the other famous Scotsman, Ian Rankin, who will talk about the final in his best-selling Rebus series, in November.
