On The Case: Police Procedural Panel

Basingstoke Discovery Centre

Saturday 24th October 2026

5.00pm to 6.30pm

As part of Only Murders in the Library, the annual series of crime writers talks at Basingstoke Discovery Centre.

Crime fiction's most compelling detectives take centre stage as four bestselling authors discuss the enduring appeal of the police procedural. M.J. Arlidge, internationally renowned for his gripping thrillers; Simon Mason, author of the award-winning DI Ryan Wilkins mysteries; and Tim Sullivan, creator of the acclaimed DS George Cross series; and S.M. Govett, known for her tense and immersive crime novels; all come together to explore the realities of police work, the art of creating memorable investigators, and the challenges of crafting authentic, page-turning crime fiction.

From meticulous investigations and complex cases to the human stories behind the badge, join these leading voices in contemporary crime writing for an insightful and entertaining discussion.

Event running time is around 50 minutes plus time for a Q&A. Waterstones will be present for book sales and signing before and after the main event.

Price: £5.00 per person
