Organised by The House of St Barnabas
Join us on the 20th June for an Under The Covers event with Mark Billingham.
About this event
Under the Covers is an illuminating series of talks in which Ella Berthoud, bibliotherapist and co-author of The Novel Cure: An A-Z of Literary Remedies puts an author, artist or person of note onto the couch, and asks them all about the books that made them – what they read as a child and a teenager, what they read now - and all about their lives and what they have just been writing, painting or performing.
Mark Billingham started his career, 21 years ago, as the new young voice in crime fiction. The intervening two decades have seen Billingham’s novels sell over 6 million copies. He has had 21 Sunday Times bestsellers (every one of his titles) and has spent over 120 weeks in the top ten. Two TV series have been made of Mark’s books – Thorne by Sky starring David Morrissey, and In the Dark by the BBC. A third is currently in development. Rabbit Hole, his 2020 novel, was named as Crime Book of the Year by The Times.
About The Murder Book:
Has Tom Thorne’s past finally caught up with him, and is a nemesis he has spent years trying to forget poised to take away everything he has worked for?
Hunting a woman responsible for a series of grisly murders, Thorne has no idea what or who he is up against, and quite how much he has to lose…
