DUDLEY TOWN HALL

Wednesday 2 October 2024 - 7.30pm

Why do some novels inspire people to commit murder? Which fictional characters and plots arouse lethal violence in the real world? How does crime fiction become crime fact?

With a 40-year career in criminal behavior and host of many television crime shows, including Channel 4's In The Footsteps of Killers, David Wilson is no stranger to what motivates murderers and the triggers that can set them on a killing spree.

David will be in conversation with novelist Marcel Theroux, who most recently presented The Playboy Bunny Murder on ITV1 and has over 20 years' experience in the literary field, combining their professional backgrounds to discuss books that have motivated murder and discover how fiction can sometimes arouse lethal violence in the real world.
