Special Guest: Attica Locke

Attica Locke‘s astounding 2009 debut Black Water Rising announced the arrival of an exciting, urgent new voice in crime fiction. With five subsequent novels including the Edgar, Anthony and CWA Steel Dagger winning Bluebird, Bluebird, she is firmly established as one of America’s finest writers.

Her latest novel, Guide Me Home, the third in her terrific Highway 59 series, is a blistering portrayal of Trump’s America and sees the search for a young woman whose family don’t want her found.

Attica is also a television powerhouse, writing a succession of hit shows including Empire, Little Fires Everywhere, When They See Us and From Scratch.

She will be interviewed by journalist Matt Nixson.
