Val McDermid with Nicola Sturgeon (2015 Event)

The Diamond Dagger-winning Fifer has built a vast fan-base over
the years thanks to her number one bestselling novels that have
sold over 11 million copies. One of Val McDermid’s better-known
readers recently became Scotland’s First Minister and in this
event, recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book
Festival, Nicola Sturgeon meets McDermid to discuss Splinter the
Silence and Stranded, a book of scintillating, nail-biting short
stories that range from passion and revenge in St Petersburg to
the sleazy flipside of the international publishing scene.
