'The Rest is History': panel chair at Bloody Scotland 2024
2024

Description This panel features three extraordinarily powerful stories about three very different periods of history, each rich in detail, frighteningly real, and peopled with remarkable characters. Eleni Kyriacou’s impressive novel The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou is based on the true story of a Cypriot grandmother accused of murder in 1950s London. The visceral Columba’s Bones by leading playwright David Greig sees a bloody search rage for sacred Christian relics on Iona in the year 825. A. J. West’s atmospheric The Betrayal of Thomas True, simmers with temptation and traitors on the hidden streets of Georgian London. Author D. V. Bishop will chair this event.

'A Divine Fury' previewed by Crime Fiction Lover website
2024

Description "Let’s head to Florence in the autumn of 1539, where Cesare Aldo, once an officer for the city’s most feared criminal court, has been demoted to patrolling the streets after dark. One rainy night he comes across a man lying dead at the feet of Michaelangelo’s David. The body has been posed to look like a crucifixion, so there were clearly religious motives. As more bodies appear much to the consternation of the Florentine citizens, it is clear that Aldo is up against an unholy murderer who is preparing to strike again… and again. An intriguing slice of historical crime by CWA Dagger winner DV Bishop, A Divine Fury is published on 20 June."
