ABOUT THE CRIME WRITING FESTIVAL

Prime Club at the Columbia Club is the logical outgrowth of Magna cum Murder which was sponsored by Ball State University from its inception in 1994 until the closure of the E.B. and Bertha C. Ball Center in July, 2020. There was much lamentation when the end of Magna cum Murder was announced, but there’s cause for jubilation now! The schedule for the Prime Crime weekend will closely follow the schedule of McM, but with a few additions we think will enhance the program.

Rt. Hon. David Trimble

It is with profound sorrow that I write with the news of the death, earlier this week of the Rt. Hon. David Trimble, our international guest of honor at this year’s Prime Crime at the Columbia Club. I’m sure many of you have already read this sad news, but I wanted to be sure you saw the lovely tribute to Lord Trimble written by Ruth Dudley Edwards for The Daily Mail of London, so I am attaching it herewith. David Trimble was a man of unassailable principle—truly a giant of a man – and will be missed by so many people, for so many reasons.
