BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Leslie Forbes investigates six crime writers and explores the landscapes of their novels. 4: William Mcllvanney "My father was a Borderer whom the Borders displeased. He moved us from Selkirk to Hawick to Graithnock, working in mills. He was maybe following the work. He was maybe looking for Scotland." Mcllvanney's brooding Glasgow detective, Jack Laidlaw , sets out to investigate the death of his brother and uncovers serious crimes of compromise. Producer Nigel Acheson
