WEB NEWS, FEATURES & REVIEWS

CrimeFest is to post its much-anticipated draft programme being on their website by the end of the month (Crime Time will also post details).

Len Tyler is just one of the participating authors at CRIMEFEST this year, and there are some exciting last minute additions. You may not have heard of Giorgio Faletti yet, but that is about to change. Described as the next Stieg Larsson, Faletti is a phenomenon on the continent, where his books sell in the millions. CRIMEFEST will be his first major UK appearance to coincide with the publication of I Kill. Somebody who should be familiar, though not as an author, is Mike Hodges. Mike, who was born in Bristol, has directed – and written the screenplays for – some superb crime movies such as Pulp, Croupier and the original, classic Get Carter. His first novel, Watching the Wheels Come Off, is about to be published, and, not only will Mike be appearing at CRIMEFEST, we are co-presenting a talk with Mike and a screening of Get Carter with the Bristol Festival of Ideas on Friday evening, 21 May. A complete list of all PARTICIPATING AUTHORS is up on the CRIMEFEST website: info@crimefest.com
