IN CONVERSATION WITH LOUISE WELSH

WEDNESDAY 11TH FEBRUARY, 7.00PM

ST PETER'S CHURCH, 153 HIGH STREET, LINLITHGOW

Louise Welsh returns with the third in The Cutting Room series. The Cut Up is a stylish, atmospheric thriller featuring cult character, Rilke - everyone's favourite auctioneer. Louise is a hugely experienced writer and speaker and we're looking forward to hearing about Rilke's latest exploits - as well as finding out what it's like to create such a memorable character.

SYNOPSIS

"Rilke’s trying to stay out of trouble…It’s hard to be good when living is expensive. And times are tough on the streets these days. Luckily for Rilke at Bowery Auctions the demand for no questions asked cash is at an all-time high, and business is booming. When Rilke hears his old acquaintance Les is fresh out of prison, his inclination is to stay well out of his way. Letting sleeping dogs lie is one thing – but when one of Bowery’s customers winds up dead on their tarmac, Rilke needs a bit of help from his friends to tidy things up. If only his friends didn’t have such a habit of making things worse."

TICKETS £8, includes refreshments on the evening and discounted book sales.
