Alex Gray discusses her latest novel

Alex Gray, whose series of west of Scotland and Glasgow based crime novels featuring DSI William Lorrimer has sold over a million copies worldwide, will be discussing writing and her latest, recently released novel Blood on Old Stones.

Alex, born in Glasgow, is the co-founder of the international Scottish crime writing festival, Bloody Scotland, which had its inaugural festival in 2012. Her latest novel is set on the isle of Mull ‘The wildest places often conceal the darkest secrets…’

DSI William Lorimer never expected that the next time he’d visit the Isle of Mull – where he and his wife, Maggie, have often wandered its windswept coasts and picturesque lochs – it would be for the funeral of an old friend.

Mary Grant’s sudden heart attack was a shock to the small community on the island, but Lorimer has no reason to suspect foul play, until he is approached at the funeral by one of Mary’s closest friends. She is convinced there was more to Mary’s death than meets the eye. And when she, too, dies in a sudden accident, Lorimer finds himself investigating a double murder.

Mull is a place of spectacular beauty and characterful towns, but Lorimer knows that even here old secrets can resurface, resentments can run deep, and evil can lurk undetected.

Alex will be talking in Bookpoint at 6.30pm on Thursday 18th June.
