Best-selling book charts, author Ann Cleeves and Composer James B.Wilson on the last night of the Proms

Front Row investigates what gets a book onto the best-seller lists, crime novelist Ann Cleeves on her tenth Vera novel and composer James B Wilson and the last night of the Proms.

Bestselling crime novelist Ann Cleeves joins Samira Ahmed to discuss the return of her no-nonsense Northumberland crime-fighter, Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope, in the Rising Tide.

What gets books on the shelves of some of our biggest chain retailers? Tonight Front Row lifts the lid on the behind-the-scenes payments that influence what you get to see and buy.

Composer James B.Wilson gives an insight into his writing process, ahead of the premiere of a new piece he's written for the last night of the Proms.
