About this event
Join us for an evening with award-winning author Alex Preston as he talks about his new novel A Stranger in Corfu, a gripping and stylish literary thriller set on a sun-soaked isle off Corfu. On the Greek island of Vidos the past lingers like salt in the air. The inhabitants – former members of MI6 – are sent here to be forgotten. Exiled. Either too damaged or too compromised to be allowed to live freely. For years, residents make the best of their fate – old enemies reconcile, long-lost friends swim together in the warm sea and estranged lovers share a bed once more. But secrets bind tightly. And when one of their own washes up dead, alliances fracture and a tide of suspicion begins to rise. A vivid reimagining of a real, hidden slice of the British Intelligence Service’s history, A Stranger in Corfu is an exquisitely tense and masterfully spun novel about shadowy morality, unravelled secrets and the futility of trying to outrun the past. Reviews Le Carré meets The Durrells – A Stranger is Corfu is a brilliantly atmospheric thriller. Suspenseful, vivid and impossible to put down – TOM HOLLAND Imagine the Slow Horses had parents who were also spies. Imagine those parents were on a small island, just off Corfu. Imagine that their chequered pasts might be catching up with them.
