Two Wirral based crime writers come together to celebrate the publication of Liar Liar by Luca Veste (4 June, Harper Collins)
About this Event

‘Properly Stephen King style creepy’ – Ian Rankin

Liar Liar - If no one believes you, no one will help you…Once hailed as Liverpool’s finest detective, Mark Fletcher brought a serial killer to justice and earned the city’s admiration. But when he's accused of working with Liverpool's most notorious crime family, his legacy is shattered – and so is his life.

Now disgraced and spiralling, Fletcher wakes up in a hotel room with no memory of the last 24 hours… and a dead body beside him.

The evidence says he did it. His instincts say otherwise. Hunted by the force he once served, Fletcher must uncover the truth – not just to clear his name, but to survive. Because someone wants him silenced, and they’ll stop at nothing to finish what they started…

Luca Veste is the internationally bestselling author of ten novels, including The Bone Keeper and the Murphy and Rossi series. He is the bass player in the Fun Lovin’ Crime Writers band, co-host of the hit podcast Two Crime Writers and a Microphone, and the co-founder of the Locked Up Festival, which raised over £25,000 for the Trussell Trust charity. He studied psychology and criminology at the University of Liverpool, and lives in Merseyside with his wife and two daughters.

‘A UK thriller writer who gives giants like Linwood Barclay and Harlan Coben a run for their money.’ – Mark Billingham

David Jackson is the bestselling author of Cry Baby. His debut novel, Pariah, was Highly Commended in the Crime Writers' Association Debut Dagger Awards. He lives on the Wirral peninsula with his wife and two daughters.
