Graeme Macrae Burnet: Just Too Tall to be a Spy!
b'
Graeme caught the attention of the world in 2016 when his second novel,\\xa0His Bloody Project,\\xa0was shorted-listed for the Booker Prize.\\xa0He may not have carried off the award that year, but his book sold more than those of the other five finalists combined!\\xa0It\\u2019s the week before the Booker Prize is announced, and with another Scottish author in the running, Theresa hears about the glitz and glamour of Graeme\\u2019s experience at London\\u2019s Guildhall (it will be a more modest affair this year, with no grub and booze). Graeme\\u2019s book recommendation is John Le Carre\\u2019s The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. This leads to an intriguing discussion on how Theresa could be a great asset for British Intelligence!\\xa0Graeme\\u2019s fourth novel,\\xa0Case Study\\xa0(Saraband), is out next October - we\\u2019ll hear what it\\u2019s about.\\xa0And if you happen upon Graeme somewhere reading old copies of the Women\\u2019s Weekly...it\\u2019s research - honest!\\xa0
