We go west in pursuit of banter, bodies and bampots with four of the finest exponents of Glasgow crime fiction.

An unused return ticket casts doubt on a seeming suicide in Eva McRae’s assured debut A Death in Glasgow. Fear and rumour rip through Possilpark in the heart-rending A Bad, Bad Place by Frances Crawford. Rat Race is the third in Callum McSorley’s brilliantly riotous series featuring hapless detective Ally McCoist. Martin Stewart’s antihero Robbie Gould returns to face gangsters, llama farmers and an ex-KGB general in Loose Threads.

This event will be chaired by arts critic Alistair Braidwood.
