Special Guest: Kate Atkinson

Few authors have transcended genres with the skill and success of Kate Atkinson. Whether writing historical novels or literary fiction, Kate’s work has been met with critical and popular acclaim, and a mantlepiece laden with awards. However, it is her six dazzling novels featuring private investigator Jackson Brodie that have most endeared her to the crime fiction community.

Brodie, the tough former soldier and policeman with an empathetic heart, is a beautifully drawn protagonist much loved by readers, and was brought to life by Jason Isaacs in two series for the BBC. The latest Brodie novel, Death at the Sign of the Rook, is a fiendishly clever mystery that pays homage to the Golden Age but comes seared with Atkinson’s signature invention and wit.

Kate will be interviewed by Lee Child.
