Straight to the Heart: Sarah Hilary, Patricia Gibney, Simon Mason
Saturday 19th September - 10:00
The police procedural is crime fiction’s oldest trope but it in the hands of talented authors it is far more than a whodunnit and can shine a light on society’s toughest subjects.
A seemingly inexplicable crime is at the heart of The Drowning Place, the first in an enthralling new series from the gifted Sarah Hilary. A double murder in the aftermath of a little girl’s birthday party is the shocking opening to Patricia Gibney’s The Family Secret. Simon Mason’s A Dangerous Stranger explodes onto the page as a young asylum seeker is set on fire by protestors.
This event will be chaired by journalist Teddy Jamieson.
