Tidelines Book Festival Presents Graeme Macrae Burnet - Crime, History and Thrillers

One of Ayrshire's finest literary exports, Graeme Macrae Burnet has a truly international profile, with six multi-award-winning novels in over twenty languages. His latest, Benbecula, was shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction and longlisted for the Highland Book Prize as well as the world-famous CWA Historical Dagger. It is described by The Guardian as "dark, intense, and utterly compelling". Based on a true story, this beguiling psychological novel is a gripping narrative about madness, murder and the uncertain nature of the self.Chair - Martin Stewart
