Bestselling crime writer M.W. Craven joins Phil Williams on Books on the Beach to talk about his new thriller, The Killer’s Mark.

It’s a story of triads, concubines and the porn industry, and Mike explains how he came to write it. He also reveals why the book’s original title, The Red Chamber, had to be scrapped. It turns out to be Chinese slang for China... well: It sounds a lot like for China anyway! Let’s just say it wasn’t going to work on a book cover.

We also get to the bottom of Mike’s beef with Martin Clunes and Sting! 😆
