SUNDER – An Evening with Crime Writer Jo Saint
Brighton has a killer. The police have a secret.
Join us for an evening of murder, mystery and a few confessions (of the literary kind!) as Jo Saint, former Brighton copper turned crime writer, celebrates the launch of her debut psychological crime thriller, SUNDER.
Jo will be interviewed (not under caution, we promise!) by local poet Peter Wood, who'll be delving into the inspiration behind the novel, Jo's experiences in policing and how those experiences helped bring this dark and gripping story to life.
Already receiving fantastic praise, SUNDER has earned a glowing endorsement from bestselling crime author and police procedural adviser Graham Bartlett, who describes it as:
'A fabulous, clever debut with stunningly authentic characters battling a gritty yet oh-so-real world you hope you’ll never encounter. Jo Saint is a brilliant author to watch out for, she knows her stuff like few others!'
