Episode 35: The science of crime fiction - with Brian Price

How often do you suspect that not everything you read in a crime novel is as accurate as possible? Alongside experts in policing, the legal system and forensics, Brian Price has established himself as one of the UK's leading consultants for authors who want to ensure the science of crime is correct. Brian's expertise is much sought after by some of the UK's leading authors, but now he's switching sides with the publication of his first novel, Fatal Trade, published by us at Hobeck Books. Released on Sept 14th, Fatal Trade starts with a first line so strong it won Brian an online competition, an achievement that inspired him persevere and write the rest of the novel! Also this week, we discuss supply problems in the UK publishing chain, and how a book signing could have cost one sport £40 million in lost income.
