BBC World Service - HARDtalk, Val McDermid - Crime writer

Stephen Sackur talks to crime writer Val McDermaid. Is there a line she will not cross?

Val McDermid is one of Britain's most popular novelists.

Her stories of twisted killers and flawed detectives are part of a modern genre of graphic crime fiction that is far removed from the conventions of Agatha Christie and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Her compelling stories are peppered with horrifying violence which entertain millions around the world, but are there lines she will not cross?
