The Midnight in Peking juggernaut (OK, maybe just a large lorry with slightly flat tyres) rolls into Soochow (or Suzhou as some now like to call it) on Sunday October 16th where I’ll be talking about the book, Pamela Werner and how tosolve 75 year old murders to the good folk of the Royal Asiatic Society’s Suzhou branch at the lovely Suzhou Bookworm.

An unsolved mystery for more than seventy years. Paul French visits the Royal Asiatic Society of Suzhou to talk about his new novel, “Midnight in Peking”. French pieces together the evidence from this real-life conundrum to write historical fiction that China author Jonathan Fenby says, “Keeps the reader enthralled to the end.” Sunday, October 16, 2011, 4pm.  The Suzhou Bookworm, Gunxiu Fang 77, Shi Quan Jie. 30rmb for students; 50 rmb for members; 70 rmb for non-members.

Dear Mr French,
I would like your permission to use a photo from your blogspot site, of the French Cemetery in Keelung, for my upcoming travel app on Taiwan’s cultural attractions, published by Guidegecko.
I can show you the relevant page.
Best wishes,
