Slaughter Meets Billingham

The Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Festival is bringing to its Harrogate stage - all the way from Atlanta, Georgia - internationally best-selling author Karin Slaughter. Slaughter's last appearance at the Festival was in 2004 - her reputation was stellar then but in the last few years her uncompromising approach to depicting the realities of criminal violence has ensured her a place in the crime-writing firmament. Her latest novel Broken continues her run of hard-hitting and addictive books. Slaughter will be interviewed by bestselling British author Mark Billingham.
