There is still time to book your ticket for this excellent event tonight (Thursday March 7) as part of Kirkcudbright Book Week: an evening with Simpson Grears Selkirk Arms High Street 7pm £5 Supported by Scottish Book Trust through its Live Literature programme
The crime writer talks about his latest book The Counterfeit Detective, published by Rymour, an epic Gothic literary crime thriller set mostly in Victorian London in 1900 but also in 1970s England, Scotland and the United States. The book tells how an American professor discovers the diaries of John Ledbury, known as the counterfeit detective, a minor poet who in Victorian London is employed to reply to the mail that comes addressed to Sherlock Holmes at 221b Baker Street. Through the diaries he unearths a series of murders which he solves. Simpson Grears was longlisted for a Crime Writers’ Association Daggers award for his first volume of detective stories, The Foot of the Walk Murders.
