Spotlight Making crime pay


After long careers in national papers, two NUJ members have adapted their skills to crime fiction. Maureen Paton is publishing her debut novel, while Tony Bassett has brought out his sixth. Paton’s The Mystery


at Rake Hall is about a postwar Oxford don, CS ‘Jack’ Lewis, who investigates the case of one of his students, Susan Temple. Like Paton’s mother, she has ended up in Rake Hall, a hostel for unmarried mothers – and all is not what it seems. “Newsgathering and feature-writing are


great skills that equip us admirably for shaping stories,” says Paton, who has a second novel lined up. “I’d like to encourage other journalists to flex the muscles of their imagination.” NUJ life member


Bennett would agree.


It Never Rains is about a footballer whose stepson is kidnapped when his mansion is burgled. Bennett is drawing


on 40 years’ experience: “After a career in which I spent a great deal of time writing about true-life crimes, I’m in the strange situation of using the knowledge acquired to invent crimes and describe how detectives investigate them.”
