Join bestselling novelist AJ West as he reveals the haunting research that inspired his new novel, The Deadly Inheritance of Everest Macdonald, on the very day of its release.

Hosted by Bow Street Museum of Crime and Justice - home to the very cells where killer Richard Prince was held on the night of the murder - AJ will be joined on stage by Rory, one of the Museum’s resident experts, to hold a magnifying glass over this macabre story.
