Unspoken: Why Are Secrets So Powerful in Crime Fiction?

Clare McGowan and Kia Abdullah, two of crime’s most psychologically astute voices, explore the power of hidden truths. Drawing on their own novels, they discuss how secrets shape character, drive tension and keep readers hooked.

Swift Half events are intended for those already on site; if you book a Swift Half ticket only, you will need to purchase a Site Pass. 

Each Swift Half event runs for approximately 25–30 minutes. A limited number of benches are available on a first come, first served basis, otherwise the event is standing.
