An Evening at The Octagon with The Perfect Crime Panel

A Crime Panel at the Octagon

Join the Stripey Badger and our best selling crime authors, to discuss why we love reading crime and why they like writing about it.  Bringing together three fantastic Yorkshire Crime Writers; Julia Chapman, Susan Parry,  and Mark Bridgeman, for an event unlike any we've done before. 

Julia Chapman author of The Dales Detective Series, a seven part series (soon to be eight) follows Samson O'Brien a retired Police officer turned P.I, through the trials and tribulations of a not so quiet Yorkshire town. A classic whodunit series set in the specatular landscape of the Yorkshire Dales, written with affection for the area and its people.

The Dark Side of the Dales is a thrilling anthology of murder, mystery and robbery from in and around Ilkey, Otley, Harrogate, Ripon and Skipton. Gripping historical accounts of the real dark side of the countryside are unearthed and mysteries of the past are revealed in a new light.
