Lovers of crime fiction and CSI television programmes came together in Portsmouth, to hear crime authors and crime experts debate fact meets fiction, the brainchild of International crime writer, Pauline Rowson.

Crime and the City, CSI Portsmouth kicked off at 10am with a morning panel featuring crime authors Simon Brett, June Hampson and Pauline Rowson, who were joined by Crime Scene Investigators from Hampshire Constabulary and forensic psychologists from the University of Portsmouth.
