The Police Procedural is Dead!
Long Live the Police Procedural!
Stuart MacBride and Ian Rankin
FREE TO VIEW
Fiction is a dedicated follower of fashion, and every few years
one genre (or sub-genre) bubbles up to prominence, while
another’s declared dead in the water. Except that’s not really
how we read, is it crime lovers?
Here to discuss why stories about cops chasing baddies
will never join the choir invisible are two of Scotland’s finest
practitioners, Ian Rankin and Stuart MacBride. Between
them they’ve sold millions of books earning their places at
the forefront of the tsunami that is Tartan Noir.
Stuart MacBride’s newest Ash Henderson thriller, The
Coffinmaker’s Garden, starts with a storm that reveals human
remains buried in someone’s garden. How many people are Order your copy now Order your copy now
buried there? And can the authorities retrieve the remains
before the storm sweeps them out to sea?
In A Song for the Dark Times, Ian Rankin’s most recent Rebus
novel, the ex-detective speeds to the edge of Scotland to
help his daughter who is distraught that her husband’s gone
missing. But is he going as a father, or as a detective? And is
this domestic drama linked to a case Siobhan and Malcolm
are investigating back in the capital.

prejudices, while facing fresh threats reignited by America’s

WORKSHOP: Character-Building For

conceive and build a character that lasts. How much do you
need to know about your characters before you start writing?
And how much should you share with readers?

dramatist whose love of Florence and the Renaissance
inspired his crime fiction debut, City of Vengeance, which
won the Pitch Perfect competition at Bloody Scotland 2018.

An Audience with Jo Nesbo
FREE TO VIEW
Jo Nesbo is one of the world’s
bestselling crime writers, and the
creator of Harry Hole, one of the
most intriguing characters in crime
fiction. He’s an international number
one bestseller whose books are
published in 50 languages, selling
over 33 million copies around the
world. Before becoming a crime
writer, Nesbo played football for
Norway’s premier league team Molde, but injury put paid to
that career.
After three years’ military service he attended business school
and formed the band Di derre (Them There). They topped the
charts in Norway while Nesbo worked a day job as a financial
analyst. When commissioned to write a memoir about life on
the road with his band, he came up with the plot for his first
Harry Hole novel instead. The rest, as they say, is history!
Nesbo’s most recent novel, The Kingdom, the story of two
brothers coping with a devastating family legacy, is a simmering,
complex thriller delivering shocks and surprises at every turn.

All Aboard the Mystery Train!
Meet M.G. Leonard For ages 7+

M. G. Leonard is an award-winning, bestselling
writer whose books have been translated into
over forty languages, and a TV series based on
her Beetle Boy trilogy is in development.
Together with co-writer Sam Sedgman, she

The newest in the series, Murder on the Safari Star, finds the
crime-solving duo making the journey of a lifetime on a safari
train from Pretoria to Victoria Falls. Seeing Africa’s amazing
wild animals from the sumptuous comfort of a luxurious
steam train would be exciting enough, but when a passenger is
found murdered in a locked compartment, it’s up to Hal, along
with his new friend Winston and his pet Mongoose Chipo, to
solve the mystery.

Criminal Portraits: A Closer Look
(Webinar) Phil Astley
FREE TO VIEW
Mugshots are a fascinating
snapshot of social history,
conveying an immediate glimpse
of the personality, appearance and
vulnerability, or otherwise, of the
subject in front of the camera. They
prompt many questions: what
crime had the person committed?
Was it their first offence? Where
were they originally from? Where in Aberdeen did they live
following their release?
The “Criminal Portraits” blog (https://criminalportraits.
blogspot.com/) started in February 2020 following the public
interest in a Granite Noir exhibition which had featured a
number of such photographs from the “Register of Returned
Convicts for Aberdeen” held by Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire
Archives. The author, City Archivist Phil Astley, wanted to
dig deeper into the backgrounds of these criminals using
contemporary newspaper reports, census data and other
records that could add proverbial colour to the sepia prints.
For Granite Noir 2021, join Phil online for a webinar which
will take an even closer look at a selection of these criminal
portraits and the Victorian Aberdeen of which they were a part.
