Now though, espionage fiction is changing. Spies aren’t superheroes deploying magical gadgets. They’re flawed humans, doing a difficult but necessary job the hard way. The four bestselling authors on this panel have written spies operating in every kind of setting – from the historical to a future dystopia. Join them to talk about the enduring lure of spy fiction – past, present and future.

With bestselling authors Ava Glass, Greg Mosse, Jack Jewers and Tim Glister. The event will be hosted by Frankie Pellatt of Read And Buried.
