‘There are no true friends in
politics. We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood to
appear in the water.’ Alan Clark Diaries.
Speakers at this year’s conference
include: Adam Brookes, Chris Brookmyre, Natasha Cooper, Lindsey Davis, Mick Herron, Judith Flanders, Brian McGilloway, Adrian McKinty, SG MacLean, SJ Parris, Manda Scott, Louise Welsh,
and Andrew Taylor (Chair).
We are delighted to announce that this year’s conference Guest of Honour
is Sara Paretsky.
Launched in 1994, this conference
offers the audience the unique experience of hearing their favourite authors
exploring a theme. It has become a significant entry in the calendar of crime
fiction conferences and is a wonderful way to spend a weekend with like-minded
devotees of crime fiction. Speakers will examine the many areas crime fiction
covers: the police detective, historical, ‘hard- boiled’, clerical, classical
fairy tales, domestic, the golden age gems, and the light-hearted. We offer
challenging talks, excellent meals, on-site accommodation, Oxford itself, and
amazing camaraderie.
Beginning on Friday evening with a
dinner and drinks reception, the conference will feature a weekend of talks,
discussions and author signings, finishing up with a traditional farewell lunch
on Sunday.
