John Grisham on his new thriller, The Widow

from Front Row · host BBC Radio 4

Bestselling thriller writer John Grisham on his latest book, The Widow, in which a smalltown lawyer from Virginia finds himself accused of a serious crime after he develops a professional relationship with a wealthy woman who may not be all that she seems. We hear from writer-director Kelly Reichardt and from actor Josh O'Connor who plays an art thief in her latest film The Mastermind. Dutch art historian and detective Arthur Brand gives an update on the real-life robbery of France's crown jewels from The Louvre in Paris at the weekend, and tells us about the broader spate of museum thefts across Europe right now. And as arts organisations come together in Glasgow for a State of the Nation culture summit, we ask why now, and what might it achieve? Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan
