Jussi Adler-Olsen (2015 Event)
We were thrilled to welcome bestselling Danish writer Jussi Adler-Olsen to the Book Festival's home in Charlotte Square Gardens for the first time. The creator of the Department Q novels has sold over 10 million copies of his books worldwide; watch as he discusses his first ever work of fiction, the heart-stopping thriller Alphabet House, now published in English for the first time and translated by Steve Schein. The event was filmed live at the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
