Live Interview With Author Jason Wilson at CrimeCon London
19/06/2022 Duration: 29minAt CrimeCon London last weekend, I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jason Wilson about his excellent new book, 'The Old Man And Me'. In front of a live audience, we chatted about why he wrote his book about growing up and living with his gangster father. The book is no nonsense and talks about the reality of crime, not the glamourised versions you hear about elsewhere, and in this interview Jason was very open about his life. I hope you enjoy and there is link to the book below.Buy your copy here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-thrilling-biography-understand/dp/1913406881 Hosted on Acast.
