Here’s a different kind of festival than you might be used to – one celebrating crime and thriller literature through talks, panels and interviews. Capital Crime will play host to some of the biggest names in the crime game, with over 100 authors and specialists joining in the fun at Leonardo Royal Hotel St Paul's London, exploring themes like comic killers, moral dilemmas and the next generation of publishing.
Notable names include Ian Rankin, Irvine Welsh, Anthony Horowitz, Elly Griffiths, Val McDermid, and Ann Cleeves. The aptly-named Fun Lovin’ Criminals will also be gracing the festival for their first London show in years. The festival runs throughout the weekend, but if you're only keen to see one of the acts, you can grab tickets for individual talks for under 20 squids. Ideal.
