Four sparklingly original
crime writers offer their perspectives on culture and society from different
corners of Europe. As they say, tell me about your crimes and I'll tell you
about your society.
Mariusz Czubaj, Marco Malvaldi, Andrej Nikolaidis,
and Ben Pastor appear in conversation with Jake Kerridge, journalist and crime fiction critic for
The Telegraph.
Mariusz Czubaj is a cultural anthropologist whose first novel featuring Rudolf Heinz, 21:37 (Stork Press, translated by Anna Hyde), won the High Callibre Award for the Best Polish Crime Novel.
Marco Malvaldi is
the author of the Camillieri-endorsed Game for Five (Europa
Editions) and The Art of Killing Well (MacLehose
Press), both translated by Howard Curtis, a historical murder mystery featuring
real-life 19th-century chef Pellegrino Artusi.
Andrej Nikolaidis is
a controversial and outspoken journalist. In his novel The Coming (Istros
Books, translated by Will Firth), set in a small Montenegrin town on the
Adriatic, a detective sacrifices truth for the sake of telling his clients what
they want to hear.
The third in Ben Pastor's crime series featuring Wehrmacht officer
Martin von Bora, A Dark Song of Blood (Bitter
Lemon Press), is set in Rome in 1944 as the Germans prepare to flee the city.
Organised by Bitter Lemon Press, Europa Editions, Istros Books, Maclehose Press, and Stork Press, with the support of the Arts Council England / Heritage Lottery Fund and the Polish Cultural Institute in London.
