A renowned UK criminologist and former prison governor is coming to Dunfermline to discuss books that have motivated murder.

Professor David Wilson, who is also an author and broadcaster, will join novelist and broadcaster Marcel Theroux at the Alhambra Theatre on September 18 as part of their 33-date 'Killer Books' UK tour.

The pair will share their insights and knowledge about the relationship between murder and fiction.

Professor Wilson has a 40-year career in criminal behaviour and has hosted various television crime shows, including Channel 4’s 'In The Footsteps of Killers.'

Mr Theroux recently presented 'The Playboy Bunny Murder' on ITV1 and has more than 20 years of experience in the literary field.

Professor Wilson said: "I am delighted to be touring again and am looking forward to once again engaging with the audiences, about true crime, violence and murder.

"And this time I will have a friend along for the ride, who will bring a whole new perspective on the topic."

Mr Theroux said: "This will be my first tour and I am so lucky to get to do it with an accomplice like David Wilson.

"I am truly thrilled to be a part of this - it’s such a fascinating topic – and to dive deep into the world of murder and fiction in front of a live audience every night will be a great experience and one I am greatly looking forward to."
