Case notes

We also quiz the producer of Icelandic thriller Trapped, consider season two of American Crime Story (are you enjoying The People V OJ Simpson right now?), discuss the growth of British noir crime stories, round up the best cars driven by screen detectives, interview Harlan Coben and hear from a Commissioning Editor about what publishers are looking for to make a bestselling novel.

Peaky Blinders
