Stella Rimington (2011 event)

The former director general of MI5 has forged a new career for
herself as an author of spy novels, using her inside knowledge of
intelligence activities to create a credible new hero, Liz
Carlyle. Rimington’s first ever visit to the Book Festival in
2011 coincided with her role as chair of the Man Booker Prize
judging panel, and in this event she shares her own new novel as
well as some thoughts about the world of fiction in general with
Ruth Wishart. Recorded live at the 2011 Edinburgh International
Book Festival.
