Queen MacBeth – Val McDermid with Nicola Sturgeon

Tuesday 21 May, 2024, 6.30 p.m.

Aye Write, City Halls and Old Fruitmarket, 100 Candleriggs, Glasgow G1 1NQ

Join acclaimed crime-writing novelist Val McDermid as she is interviewed by Nicola Sturgeon about her new book Queen MacBeth, the fifth instalment of Darkland Tales.

Shakespeare fed us the myths of the MacBeths as murderous conspirators. But now Val McDermid drags the truth out of the shadows in a tale of passion, forced marriage, bloody massacre and the harsh realities of medieval Scotland.

At the heart of this new novel, is one strong, charismatic woman, who survived loss and jeopardy to outwit the endless plotting of a string of ruthless and power-hungry men. Her struggle won her a country. But now it could cost her life.

Val is one of Scotland’s most successful crime writing authors who has sold over 19 million books to date across the globe and her books have been translated into more than 40 different languages.
