The Defence by Rob Rinder
Rob’s participation in Who Do You Think You Are? retraced
the story of his Holocaust survivor grandfather and received a BAFTA. The BBC
series he presented, The Holocaust, My Family and Me, was aired to wide
critical acclaim and he has gone on to curate and present notable documentaries
on a range of topics, from international conflict to medieval history and,
recently, the history of prisons. In 2020, Rob was awarded an MBE for his
services to Holocaust education and an honorary doctorate for his legal work.
A regular host on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, Rob co-hosts
BBC Two’s Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby and recently appeared in a new
show about art and travel, The Grand Tour, which saw Rob and his co-host Rylan
retrace the footsteps of cultural greats around Italy.
Rob’s novels The Trial, The Suspect and The Protest are inspired by his experiences as a barrister.

Liar Liar by Luca Veste
Part psychological thriller, part police procedural, his
books follow the detective pairing of DI David Murphy and DS Laura Rossi. The
novels are set in Liverpool, bringing the city to life in a dark and terrifying
manner...with just a splash of Scouse humour.
He is also the editor of the Spinetingler Award nominated
charity anthology 'Off The Record', and co-editor of 'True Brit Grit', also an
anthology of short stories for charity.
He is a former civil servant, actor, singer and guitarist (although he still picks it up now and again), and now a full-time writer.
