Local Author Talks in Libraries

Tom Mead - The mysterious world of golden age crime fiction

Derby Book Festival has teamed up with the Society of Authors, Derby Libraries and Derbyshire Library Service to organise a series of talks by local authors in libraries across the city and county in June with more planned in the autumn. 

Tom Mead is a Derbyshire mystery writer and aficionado of Golden Age Crime Fiction. His debut novel, ‘Death and the Conjurer’, was an international bestseller. Its sequel, ‘The Murder Wheel’, and his third Joseph Spector mystery, ‘Cabaret Macabre’, also earned wide acclaim.  The fourth book in the series, ‘The House at Devil’s Neck’, will be released in August.

Tom is also an active member of the UK Crime Writers’ Association and the International Thriller Writers’ Organization.
