A Law Unto Themselves: Rob Rinder and Nadine Matheson at Bloody Scotland 2023

The Open University in Scotland is delighted to support A Law Unto Themselves: Rob Rinder and Nadine Matheson, chaired by Ayo Onatade at Bloody Scotland 2023.

Judge. Book. Cover. There’s some clever play on words there somewhere for a panel which offers a fascinating insight into both sides of the law, and both fiction and reality.

Rob Rinder, criminal barrister and TV personality, tells the truth, but perhaps not the whole truth, as he dives into fiction with his first novel The Trial as a trainee barrister and the justice system are pushed to the limit. Criminal attorney by day, bestselling crime writer by night, Nadine Matheson’s latest heart-stopping thriller, The Binding Room, shines a spotlight on issues of race, class, justice, and the corrupt institutions which uphold them.

Tickets are £12 (£11 concession), available from the Bloody Scotland website.
