Overview

Granite Noir: In Conversation with Charlie Higson LIVE STREAM

The first adult crime novel in twenty-five years from the Fast Show star and bestselling author of the Young Bond series!

Most people travel to Corfu to escape the real world for a couple of weeks and embrace the fantasy of olive trees, sandy beaches, and little fishing boats bobbing on sparkling blue water under a warm sun. But not McIntyre. McIntyre’s a fixer, specialising in getting people out of places they don’t want to be with the minimum of fuss, publicity and violence. Whatever Gets You Through The Night is a crime novel with a dark heart about the truths that lurk beneath the surface of a sunny Mediterranean idyll.

This event will also feature Sarah Thomas reading The Curse as part of our Locals in the Limelight scheme.

Chaired by Alex Clark
