talented writers from all around the country signed up – and from the US, we’re
delighted to welcome the enormously exciting Kellye Garrett and Silo creator
Hugh Howey. I'm so delighted that Capital Crime champions authors not only on
stage, but with our Fingerprint Awards where the readers vote for their winners
in each category – every year our line-up reflects what fans are reading and
this year's line-up is very exciting.’

‘We
loved our brilliant new venue in St Paul’s, and from the feedback we’ve
received from authors and attendees, so did everyone else! I’m honoured that
we’ll be welcoming some of the best crime writers from around the world to join
