A great line up for the Crime and the City – CSI Portsmouth event on 6 November, where fiction in the form of a group of renowned crime writers meet fact, the experts from CSI, fingerprinting and forensic psychology

Portsmouth Central Library will be hosting the first ever Crime and the City (CSI Portsmouth) event on Saturday 6 November. Four of my fellow crime writers will join me and experts from Hampshire Constabulary and The International Centre for Research in Forensic Psychology to discuss crime fiction and fact in a unique event, as part of the Portsmouth Book fest.

More to follow but I can annouce that joining me, Pauline Rowson will be Simon Brett, June Hampson, Peter Lovesey and Graham Hurley.

On the expert side will be DS Martin Chudley, in charge of the Crime Scene Investigation team for Hampshire Constabulary and Jane Aston and her team from the Fingerprinting Bureau. With them will be Dr Claire Nee, Director of the International Centre for Research in Forensic Psychology at Portsmouth University, an expert in forensic psychology, and Paul Smith, an expert in Crime Scenes.

A mobile bookshop will be provided by the Hayling Island Bookshop.

It looks like being great value and great fun. Tickets go on sale from 11 September.  So for now the date is 6 November 2010 and the venue is Portsmouth Central Library.

More details and information on tickets to come over the next few weeks.

Reviewers have compared the Inspector Andy Horton novels to American writers, Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh and their British counterparts John Harvey and Peter Robinson both of the latter mentioned in the directory Who Else Writes Like? My crime novels are also compared to those written by Colin Dexter, Ann Cleeves, Robert Barnard, Graham Hurley, Dorothy Simpson and Neil White.   In addition, there is also a good website called Fantastic Fiction where it is suggested that if you like Peter James and Stephen Booth then you might also like the Inspector Andy Horton and the Art Marvik Mystery Thrillers.
