Ben Miller is an actor, comedian and writer known for his roles in Armstrong and Miller, Johnny English, Death in Paradise and Bridgerton. Following on from his children’s books including The Day I Fell Into a Fairytale and Diary of a Dreadful Dragon, he has now written his first novel for adults, A Very Dangerous Pursuit.
Join us at 2.30pm on Saturday 23rd May as Ben will be here to meet readers, talk about his work, and sign copies of his book.
A Very Dangerous Pursuit – Ben Miller
When one Richard Hannay—intrepid, inquisitive, and on the hunt for intrigue—encounters an old acquaintance in Constantinople, he has an inkling that something thrilling is afoot.
Charged with an item of great mystery and import—a washbag, no less!—he soon finds himself in a very dangerous pursuit: from the luxurious confines of the Orient Express to the decks of the Titanic herself, all with the very fate of Europe in his care. Can he slip the net of Count Schwabing, whose long arm stretches from Berlin to the Bosphorus? And what of Madame Zara, the cabaret enchantress—does she play at affection, deception, or something far more deadly?
In over his head, often a step—or thirty-nine—behind, but absolutely, resolutely determined to save the day, Hannay is about to embark on an escapade that will test his wits, his courage, and his ability to keep hold of a blasted washbag.
