The Booker winning, Sunday Times bestselling and much cherished Irish author John Banville joins us to reveal a chilling tale of crime illuminated by the backdrop of 1950s Ireland.

‘Banville writes dangerous and clear-running prose and has a grim gift of seeing people’s souls’ – Don Delillo

Hailed as the ‘high chief of high brow’ by the Financial Times, and as ‘perhaps the only living writer capable of advancing fiction beyond the point reached by Beckett’ by the Irish Times, John Banville’s standing in contemporary Irish writing is unparalleled. The author himself describes his pursuit as ‘trying to blend poetry and fiction into some new form’.

Known colloquially as the heir to Proust, via Nabakov for works including The Sea and The Book of Evidence, he has been much tipped for the Nobel Prize for Literature across his rich career, and described by the Guardian as one of the finest writers in the English language.

Now he joins author and editor Erica Wagner to reveal the latest tale in bestselling CWA nominated Stafford and Quirk murder mystery series: an atmospheric story of a loner, an empty car and a missing person.

Join us for a night of suspense and intrigue with one of Europe’s greatest living writers.
