Panel Session: Means
What does it feel like to be shot? How do you perform a post-mortem? What goes through the mind of a serial killer?
Tara Moss, Marta Dusseldorp and Jack Heath discuss their most startling research techniques and discoveries with L.J.M. Owen.
Tara famously learnt to shoot, spent time at crime scenes and a morgue and earned a private investigation qualification to prepare for her Mak Vanderwall series, knowledge she also brings to her new Billie Walker mystery, Dead Man Switch.
