Aye Write: Val McDermid with Ruth Wishart – 1979
12 May, 2022 at 8 p.m.
The latest best-seller from Scotland’s Queen of Crime and the start of a new series.
1979. It’s the winter of discontent, and Allie Burns is chasing her first big scoop. One of few women in the newsroom, she needs something explosive for the boys’ club to take her seriously.
Soon Allie and fellow reporter Danny Sullivan are making powerful enemies with their investigations – and Allie won’t stop there. When she discovers a terrorist threat close to home, she devises a dangerous plan to make her name.
But Allie is a woman in a man’s world . . . and putting a foot wrong could be fatal.
Val will be in conversation with Ruth Wishart.
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, 2 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3NY
