Join us for a gripping evening in Conway Hall with David McCloskey and Ben Macintyre, in conversation with Tim Shipman of The Spectator.
David McCloskey is the master of modern fictional espionage - author of Damascus Station, The Persian, The Seventh Floor and Moscow X. Now he's back with London Station, a nail-bitingly suspenseful and highly topical spy thriller that asks 'What if the CIA and MI6 begin spying on each other?' as numerous agents start turning up dead.'
Ben Macintyre is one of the most gifted writers of narrative non-fiction around, and Redwood might be his best book yet. Meet the double agent whose intelligence helped avert Armageddon, cracked open the innermost secrets of the KGB and defied the odds deep in hostile Iranian territory. The acclaimed author of Operation Mincemeat and The Siege keeps readers on the edges of their seats with this unputdownable true tale of espionage in Cold War Iran.
Tim Shipman is the Political Editor of The Spectator magazine. Previously, he spent 11 years at The Sunday Times as Chief Political Commentator and Political Editor. His quartet of books on the turmoil in British politics following the Brexit referendum has sold more than 150,000 copies. Widely regarded as having written the definitive insider account of the most turbulent period in domestic politics since the Second World War, he is also a leading expert on spy fiction and spy history, and on the board of Spybrary.com, for which he also writes.
The Ticket & London Station bundle includes a copy of London Station by David McCloskey, for collection on the evening.
The Ticket & Redwood bundle includes a copy of Redwood by Ben Macintyre, for collection on the evening.
