From British thriller master Mark Billingham, a recent finalist for
the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library, Die of Shame is
a chilling story of addiction, subterfuge, and murder. Every Monday
evening, six people gather in a smart North London house to talk about
shame. A respected doctor, a well-heeled housewife, a young male
prostitute . . . they could not be more different. All they have in
common is a history of addiction. But when one of the group is
murdered, it quickly becomes apparent that someone else in that circle
is responsible. The investigation is hampered by the strict
confidentiality that binds these individuals and their therapist
together, which makes things difficult for Detective Inspector Nicola
Tanner, a woman who can appreciate the desire to keep personal matters
private. If she is to find the killer, she will need to use less
obvious means. The question is: What could be shameful enough to cost
someone their life? And how do you find the truth when secrets, lies,
and denial are second nature to all of your suspects? Join us
Wednesday, June 22 at 7pm for a conversation and signing! Author Mark
Billingham will be in conversation with Lee Child.
