Join journalist and broadcaster, Steph McGovern, as she discusses her gripping debut crime novel, Deadline, in an unmissable conversation about swapping the newsroom for fiction, northern grit, and the secrets behind her page-turning plot.
Deadline opens with a nightmare scenario: your child has been kidnapped. You're live on television. For rising star reporter, Rose, today should be the biggest moment of her career - a live interview with one of the most powerful men in the country. But when an unknown voice hijacks her earpiece and threatens her family, she’s forced to follow their commands, live on air, with the nation watching.
Drawing on her own experiences in journalism, McGovern will reveal how the fast-paced world of live TV shaped her story, what makes a great newsroom thriller, and what it’s like stepping into the world of crime fiction for the first time.
