- Arts
Thriller writer Iain Maitland joins us for this episode as he launches his latest novel, The Scribbler ("Exciting" – Sunday Times Crime Club). Iain's books are pitch dark, tense and have a mental health theme running through them. Here he introduces a police duo tasked with investigating cold cases of LGBTQ+ murders from the 80s that were left unsolved. The action starts in a care home where an elderly man with dementia has just met with an unlikely fatal accident – or was it murder? And could this be linked to older cases? As ever, Iain turns his focus on marginalised and damaged people, and as it turns out, he highlights issues that resonate during this lockdown.
