Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival

From their website:

"The Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival, Harrogate is a not to be missed event. Let’s examine the evidence: George Pelecanos, Val McDermid, Laura Lippman: a roll call of cool. Hang on for your life as many of the biggest authors in crime fiction gather for Europe’s most gripping crime writing festival.

The scene is set: July 23rd 2009: the Crown Hotel. The days are hot, the nights sultry. You’re at the hotel bar, pint of Theakstons in one hand, a novel by your favourite crime writer in t’other. And stood next to you - Simon Kernick, Mark Billingham, Lee Child… Witness some of the finest ‘criminal minds’ knocking heads in a series of debates, seminars and on-stage interviews. And don’t miss the notorious late night crime quiz and prestigious award ceremony for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year."
