Please join us at Newcastle City Library as Paul Daley and Michael Brissenden sit down to discuss crime writing and their latest crime fiction novels.
Michael's new book, Dust, is a dark, gripping thriller that explores the complexities of identity, a search for truth and the unyielding forces of corruption in a world where lives are lived on the fringe and nothing is as it seems.
Paul Daley's new book, The Leap, is a pulse-pounding literary thriller, filled with humour, horror, blistering historical truths, indelible characters and a final twist that will take your breath away.
Books will be available for sale from MacLean's Booksellers and both authors will be signing copies.
Cost: Free
Bookings essential
