Criminal Worlds: Detective Fiction in Europe

It’s Friday the 13th and there are dark goings on as we lift the lid on a strange and disturbing world of crime and intrigue in Europe.
European crime writers examine the back stories of detective heroes in foreign lands. Hosted by broadcaster and journalist Mark Lawson specialising in culture and the arts. The guests will include bestselling crime novelist Peter James, Finnish crime-writing sensation Kati Hiekkapelto and German writer Volker Kutscher. Our panel will cast their forensic eye on the celebrated and lesser-known investigators of European fiction.

This event is organised by Eunic London, Czech Centre and The British Library.

Part of The Stories We Tell: 2016 European Literature Festival, organised by EUNIC London, initiated and coordinated by the Czech Centre.
