Simon Mason with Lucy AtkinsThe Woman Who Laughed
5.30pm – 6.30pm
Upstairs at Bookfest
The Woman Who Laughed explores a city where the past and present merge, where cameras close in on the people and streets, and where the lost and the found can coexist.
Early in 2020, there was a spate of murders in northern cities. Five years later, another sex worker is murdered in the same district. South Yorkshire police call in the Finder: a specialist brought in by police services but free of police department politics. So begins a search that takes the Finder back to the strange days of the pandemic.
Simon Mason says: ‘Missing persons have long fascinated me. We want to know why such people disappeared. What are the emotional ramifications of a disappearance.’
Lucy Atkins, herself a writer whose most recent book Windmill Hill is set in Sussex, will be discussing Simon’s detective fiction
with him.
