Philip Sington On Psycho-thrillers

Philip Sington, author of the much-acclaimed The Einstein Girl, will be talking to fellow novelist Frank Tallis and writer/critic Barry Forshaw at a Jewish Book Week Event called Psycho-thrillers.

The Einstein Girl is set two months before Adolf Hitler's rise to power, a beautiful young woman is found half naked and near death in the woods outside Berlin. When she finally emerges from a coma, she can remember nothing, not even her own name. The only clue to her identity is a handbill found nearby, advertising a public lecture by Albert Einstein: 'On the Present State of Quantum Theory'.

Psychiatrist Martin Kirsch takes the case, little suspecting that it will be his last. As he searches for the truth about the 'Einstein girl'., professional fascination turns to reckless love. His investigations lead him to a remote corner of Serbia via a psychiatric hospital in Zurich, where the inheritor of Einstein's genius - his youngest son, Eduard - is writing a book that will destroy his illustrious father and, in the process, change the world.
