Bestselling author Harriet Tyce returns to Edinburgh for an evening filled with revenge, manipulation, obsession, forbidden love and redemption, talking about her stunning, sumptuously dark new thriller A Lesson in Cruelty with Caroline Deacon.

WHAT PRICE WOULD YOU PAY FOR THE PERFECT LIFE?

They say you can't always get what you want. But you can take it.

Anna wants a fresh start. She doesn't believe she deserves it, but after three years behind bars she has finally paid her dues. Most of them, anyway. Lucy craves the attention of the only man she can't have, her alluring Oxford professor. He's married – not for the first time. Maybe she should be next in line?

Marie the recluse has been locked up for too long. She's not ready to be free, but some rules are meant to be broken.

Everyone wants a perfect life. But not everyone is prepared to take it. Unless someone decides to teach them a lesson...
