About this Event

Join us for an evening with award-winning author Alex Preston as he talks about his new novel A Stranger in Corfu, a gripping and stylish literary thriller set on a sun-soaked isle off Corfu.

On the Greek island of Vidos the past lingers like salt in the air. The inhabitants - former members of MI6 - are sent here to be forgotten. Exiled. Either too damaged or too compromised to be allowed to live freely.

For years, residents make the best of their fate - old enemies reconcile, long-lost friends swim together in the warm sea and estranged lovers share a bed once more. But secrets bind tightly. And when one of their own washes up dead, alliances fracture and a tide of suspicion begins to rise.

A vivid reimagining of a real, hidden slice of the British Intelligence Service's history, A Stranger in Corfu is an exquisitely tense and masterfully spun novel about shadowy morality, unravelled secrets and the futility of trying to outrun the past.

A Stranger in Corfu is a spy novel of the highest calibre and impossible to put down. We're delighted to welcome Alex to Booka to celebrate it's publication!
