Ian Rankin and Mick Herron in conversation at St Giles-in-the-Fields Posted: 23 May 2022 04:45 AM PDT  Ian Rankin and Mick Herron On Wednesday 8th June 2022 18:30 at St Giles-in-the-Fields,  60 St Giles High St, London, WC2H 8LG Join bestselling crime and thriller authors Ian Rankin and Mick Herron as they celebrate the publication of their books The Dark Remains (co-written with William McIlvanney) and Bad Actors.  Mick's eighth instalment of Slough House thriller, Bad Actors, finds Jackson Lamb embroiled in double dealing and the hunt for a missing agent as the rest of the slow horses add their own distinctively chaotic magic to the mix. William McIlvanney's pioneering Laidlaw series changed the face of crime fiction, including inspiring the creation of Rebus. When he died in 2015, McIlvanney left an unfinished manuscript portraying Laidlaw's first case; now, Ian Rankin has completed his idol's novel, bringing to life the criminal world of 1970s Glasgow, and Laidlaw's relentless quest for truth, in The Dark Remains. Mick Herron is the Sunday Times bestselling author of the Slough House thrillers, which have won two CWA Daggers, been published in 20 languages, and are the basis of a major TV series starring Gary Oldman as Jackson Lamb. He is also the author of the Zoë Boehm series, and the standalone novels Reconstruction and This is What Happened. Ian's first novel Summer Rites remains in his bottom drawer, but his second novel, The Flood, was published in 1986, while his first Rebus novel, Knots & Crosses, was published in 1987. The Rebus series is now translated into twenty-two languages and the books are bestsellers on several continents. A regular contributor to BBC2's Newsnight Review, he also presented his own TV series, Ian Rankin's Evil Thoughts on Channel 4 in 2002 and Rankin on the Staircase for BBC Four in 2005. The Dark Remains has been shortlisted for The British Book Awards 2022 Crime and Thriller Book of the Year. Please note: tickets including a copy of The Dark Remains will be paperback (RRP £8.99) and tickets including Bad Actors will be hardback (RRP £18.99). Both authors will be signing books at the end of the event. More information about the event and how to buy tickets can be found here.

In the Lyme Crime Spotlight: William Shaw Posted: 22 May 2022 10:00 PM PDT Name:- William Shaw Job: Journalist and Author Website:- http://williamshaw.com Twitter: @William1shaw Introduction:- William Shaw is the author of two different series. The DS Alex Cupidi series which is set in Dungerness where DS Cupidi works in the Kent Serious Crime Squad, and The Breen and Tozer series which is set in 1968/69 London. He is also the author of the standlone novels The Birdwatcher written as William Shaw and Dead Rich written as G W Shaw. Current book? Dead Rich, which is set aboard a Russian billionaire's super yacht in the Caribbean. When I wrote it I had no idea it would be so topical. The book closes at the point that the awful war in Ukraine starts. I grew up loving the classic adventure thrillers by people like Neville Shute and Alistair MacLean. It was probably something to do with having been through lockdown, but I wanted to write a book which had some of that big screen romantic sense of adventure in it.  Favourite book That changes all the time. Graham Greene's The Quiet American still stands up. I love the way it exposes the way our will to do good in politics is often not as innocent as we think it is.  Which two characters would you invite to dinner and why?  I was thinking that maybe inviting Elly Griffiths's character Nelson and putting him in the same room as M.W. Craven's Washington Poe, but I've a feeling neither would talk at all. It would probably be much more fun to put the deeply eccentric and self-absorbed Tilly Bradshaw and the more empathetic Ruth Galloway together and watch the fall-out from two of my favourite crime fiction intellectuals. How do you relax? I help run something called Brighton Ceilidh Collective. We put on dances every month in Brighton. Playing low-level folk tunes is a) very different from writing and b) very good for the neurones. What book do you wish you had written and why?  Again, that changes all the time. The last book I read with some jealously was Mark Billingham's Rabbit Hole which was a great example of how crime fiction can do very serious stuff – and it's also very darkly funny. What would you say to your younger self if you were just starting out as an author? Keep it simple. I have been writing fiction constantly since I was in my twenties. Though I won some couple of prizes with short stories, it took me until my bloody fifties to get a novel published. Lack of self-confidence which I had in spades makes you over-reach. When the light bulb came on I found how keeping things simple gave me much more power. Why did you initially prefer to write two different series as opposed to a standalone novel and now that you have written a standalone what prompted you to do so?  I wrote one series, then broke out to do a standalone with my fourth book, The Birdwatcher. I had no intention at all of turning that into a series but somehow the secondary character Alex Cupidi wouldn't shut up, so she ended up forming the backbone of the second series, set in Kent. A lot of people do standalones now but it had always been my intention to mix them up. I think each form energises the other.  What are you looking forward to at Lyme Crime? It's my first time there. I'm looking forward to everything! I'm from the South West so it feels like home turf – and will hopefully bring a new crowd along to see what a great community crime writers and readers now are. And Paddy Magrane who organised it is one of the loveliest people in crime, so I'm confident it will have a great atmosphere. Dead Rich by G W Shaw (Riverrun) Published 26 May 2022  Super yachts are secretive, like their owners. The bigger the richer. Like castles, they are created to inspire awe. Like castles too, they are defended. They are an entire world, separate from the rest of us. Kai, a carefree once-successful musician is invited by his new Russian girlfriend Zina to join her family's Caribbean holiday. Impulsively accepting he learns that Zina is the daughter of a Russian oligarch, Stepan Pirumov and that the trip is aboard his yacht, the Zinaida, moored in St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. On arrival Kai discovers that the head of security has been arrested, armed guards are below deck, there's an onboard panic room and a strong sense of all not being quite right beneath the gleaming surfaces of the Pirumov's lives. An unnerving presence punctures the atmosphere: a murderous imposter is on board the Zinaida, but who is it? You can also find him on Facebook.
