Bateman has long been the crime writer’s writer of choice. Check out this endorsement from none other than Ian Rankin:
“I’ve been a fan of Colin Bateman ever since his first crime novel, and he just seems to get better and better. Not only are his books laugh-out-loud funny, but they are also guides to the changing face of Northern Ireland and Belfast in particular… In reading him, you’ll be transported to a place you’ll then want to visit for real”
Headline have three authors appearing at Crimefest: crime writing duo Michael Stanley (otherwise known as Michael Sears and Stanley Trollip) and thriller writer Matt Lynn. To find out more about Crimefest do check out their website.
