Glasgow Life presents Aye Write at Book Week Scotland - Chris Brookmyre and Denise Mina (chaired by Tariq Ashkanani) - Monday 14th November at 6.30pm Mitchell Library
We're always excited about new books from two of our
favourite authors.
Chris Brookmyre's The
Cliff House is set on a luxury getaway on a private island where Jen's hen party is going to
be out of control...
As well as Jen, there's the pop
diva and the estranged ex-bandmate, the tennis pro and the fashion guru, the
embittered ex-sister-in-law and the mouthy future sister-in-law. The
helicopter won't be back for seventy-two hours. They are alone. They think.
It's a combustible cocktail, one that takes
little time to ignite, and in the midst of the drunken chaos, one of them
disappears. Then a message tells them that unless someone confesses her
terrible secret to the others, their missing friend will be killed. Problem is,
everybody has a secret. And nobody wants to tell.
'Chris Brookmyre is a genius, every new
book of his is a cause for celebration' --- Richard Osman
In Denise Mina's Confidence amateur
film-maker Lisa Lee vanishes from a Scottish seaside town and journalists Anna
and Fin find themselves at the centre of an internet frenzy to find her. But
she may not be the hapless victim everyone thinks she is. The last film she
made showed her breaking into an abandoned French chateau and stumbling across
a priceless Roman silver casket. The day after Lisa vanishes the casket is
listed for auction in Paris, reserve price fifty million euros, with a catalogue
entry that challenges the beliefs of a major world religion. But someone
doesn't want them to find the missing girl... and will do anything to stop them.
'Denise Mina
is crime writing royalty' Val McDermid
