The Edinburgh Detective Files is a multimedia nonfiction project built with WordPress and Elementor. It examines the city’s legacy as the world’s first City of Literature through detective fiction, focusing on three landmark writers —Arthur Conan Doyle, Ian Rankin, and Val McDermid — and their works.
Furthermore, the events page provides the newest information and introductions on Scottish detective literature events.
