Hatchards in London will host Death Writ Large – Susie Dent on 2026-09-28 at 17:30. Susie Dent will discuss her latest book ‘Death Writ Large’ with tickets priced from £5.00 to £10.00.
Susie Dent discusses her latest book ‘Death Writ Large.’
We are delighted to welcome writer and lexicographer Susie Dent here at Hatchards to discuss
‘Death Writ Large.’
When mysterious symbols appear as graffiti around Oxford, lexicographer Martha Thornhill recognises them from a runic alphabet created by a deceased fantasy writer whose papers she once worked on. But this is no publicity stunt, and tensions intensify when further graffiti is found near the body of a university lecturer.
Martha is not the only one to have doubts when the suspicious death is assumed by police to be a suicide. Called upon to lend their linguistic expertise to the case, Martha and her colleagues begin to unearth a tragedy that extends beyond the ancient walls of the university. As new messages portend more death, it's clear that a spirit of vengeance is stalking the city's streets, and may be reaching out towards them too.
It promises to be an absolutely fascinating evening, do come along if you can!
