Val McDermid – Silent Bones

Bestselling crime writer Val McDermid has sold over 19 million books worldwide, with TV adaptations of her novels including Wire in the Blood and Karen Pirie (both ITV).

Val will be chatting to Helen Scott about her latest Karen Pirie novel Silent Bones.

When a landslide on a Scottish motorway reveals the body of journalist Sam Nimmo, DCI Karen Pirie and her Historic Cases Unit must find out who buried him, and why.

Meanwhile, in Edinburgh, new evidence reopens a closed case and the accidental death of a hotel manager starts to look like murder. Karen and her team begin to untangle a web of lies, one that connects their murder cases with Scotland's rich and powerful. They will be tested to their limits – and possibly beyond…

Val McDermid is an international number one bestselling author whose books have been translated into more than 40 languages. Her multi-award-winning series and standalone novels have been adapted for TV and radio, most notably the Wire in the Blood series featuring clinical psychologist Dr Tony Hill and DCI Carol Jordan. The Karen Pirie novels have also been adapted for a major ITV series. She divides her time between Fife and Edinburgh.
