Chaired by Jacky Collins
Two of the UK’s finest writers share stories of traumatic events which shape and define everything that follows. No.1 bestseller Lucy Foley’s page-turning new thriller began with a secret, fifteen years ago, but the present has crashed the party, and it will end in murder at The Midnight Feast. Multi award-winning author Chris Whitaker brings us All the Colours of the Dark, a missing persons mystery, a serial killer thriller, and a lovely story – all unfolding on an epic canvas.
