The Killer Books tour with Professor David Wilson, host of Channel 4’s In The Footsteps of Killers, and Marcel Theroux, who presented The Playboy Bunny Murder on ITV1, will look at all things violence and murder when it comes to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds
Violence and murder is the theme of a show from a tour de force in crime and fiction.
The Killer Books tour is coming to The Apex in Bury St Edmunds on September 30 when Professor David Wilson, renowned UK criminologist, author, broadcaster and former prison Governor is joining forces with novelist and broadcaster Marcel Theroux to discuss books that have motivated murder and how fiction can sometimes become fact.
The tour draws on the pair’s unique insights and unparalleled knowledge of both murder and fiction.
With a 40-year career in criminal behavior and host of many television crime shows, including Channel 4’s In The Footsteps of Killers, David Wilson is no stranger to what motivates murderers and the triggers that can set them on a killing spree. Together with Marcel Theroux - who most recently presented The Playboy Bunny Murder on ITV1 and has more than 20 years’ experience in the literary field - they will delve into the realm of murder in fiction, characters, plots and locations that arouse lethal violence in the real world.
David Wilson said: “I am delighted to be touring again and am looking forward to once again engaging with the audiences, about true crime, violence and murder. And this time I will have a friend along for the ride, who will bring a whole new perspective on the topic.”
Marcel Theroux added: “This will be my first tour and I am so lucky to get to do it with an accomplice like David Wilson. I am truly thrilled to be a part of this - it’s such a fascinating topic – and to dive deep into the world of murder and fiction in front of a live audience every night will be a great experience and one I am greatly looking forward to.”
