Featuring: Lee Child, Steve Mosby, Peter Robinson, Nick Quantrill and Frances Brody.

It's known as God's own county. Naturally. Aside from the best beers, proper brews and rollicking Dales, Yorkshire 'appens to be murderously good for the crime genre. As Harrogate is the epicentre for crime writing's biggest celebration of the genre we celebrate local folk and devotees of the county.

Lee Child may be the cool blockbusting author with the trans-atlantic drawl hanging with the likes of Tom Cruise, but he used to buy his toffee in Harrogate with his grandma as a lad before studying in Sheffield. Steve Mosby stalks the mean streets of Leeds, and Peter Robinson's DCI Banks novels starring Stephen Tompkinson were lovingly filmed on location in Yorkshire.

Born and raised in industrial Hull, Nick Quantrill's Joe Geraghty novels have been dubbed as 'Hull's answer to Ian Rankin', and Frances Brody sets her Kate Shackleton mystery novels in Yorkshire.

By 'eck what a treat!

Yorkshire Pride was recorded live at Harrogate International Festivals' Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in July 2015.
