Rowan Coleman
Wednesday 24th November 7pm at

as detectives. Book 3 in the series The Red Monarch will be released on the 4 November.
Cara Hunter
Tuesday 30th November 1.30pm at

Cara Hunter lives in Oxford, in a street not unlike those featured in her books. She has written 5 books (with number 6 coming soon) featuring DI Adam Fawley and his Oxford- based police team.
The series has featured twice as Richard and Judy Book club picks and DI Adam Fawley may soon be coming to life on screen as the TV rights have been sold.
An Evening with Peter Laws
Thursday 2nd December 7pm at
Houghton Regis Library
Peter Laws is an author, journalist, film critic and public speaker. He's an ordained Reverend with a fascination for the macabre. He is the creator of the Creepy Cove Community Church Podcast,
and also the Matt Hunter novel series. Matt is an atheist ex-vicar turned university professor, who helps the police solve cult related and religiously motivated crimes. The novels are
intense, quirky and laced with hints of the supernatural and black humour.
Adam LeBor
Saturday 4th December 5pm at
Flitwick Library
Adam LeBor is a British author, journalist, writing coach and editorial trainer, who worked as a foreign correspondent from 1991 for many years but is now based in London. He is currently

but a hybrid of crime and conspiracy thrillers.
