Welcome to series 12, episode 4 of In Suspense - a podcast for fans and writers of crime fiction. Today we are chatting to Neil Lancaster about whether it helps to have been a police officer when writing crime. Neil's latest book, The Devil You Know is out now in hardback, and out in paperback on 21 November. His book recommendations this week are Midnight & Blue (Ian Rankin) and The Siege (Ben Macintyre).
