Underbelly – Talking Crime in Beijing

Posted: March 19th, 2012 | No Comments »

A quick post to say I’ll be on a panel this Monday evening at the Beijing International Literary Festival talking crime in a session wonderfully called “Underbelly”.

Monday, 19th March – The Beijing Bookworm – 18:00

Are drug-addicts, murderers and duplicitous gangsters misunderstood misfits with hearts of gold or low-life scum? Three writers – Paul French (UK), Yrsa Sigurðardóttir (Iceland) and Chris Womersley (Australia) – delve into the underbelly to investigate those who live outside the law on the fringes of society. Join us to find out if there is a criminal code or if there really is no honour among thieves. Moderated by crime writer Catherine Sampson.
