Events in the West Midlands 2 - Warwick Words

I had a tip-off on my facebook page about this one, Warwick Words held 1-4 October 2009. I think these are the only crime fiction related events:

An Evening with Val McDermid

The Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series has enjoyed tremendous success including being adapted for the award-winning ITV drama, Wire in The Blood for six series.
