Top author heads for St John’s

One of Scotland’s top authors, Peter May, will be discussing his latest novel, ‘The Man With No Face’, a powerful and prophetic thriller set at the heart of European politics in Perth.

This will be the third novel featuring jaded Edinburgh journalist Neil Bannerman.

BBC Radio Scotland presenter Fiona Stalker will chair the event in the atmospheric setting of St John’s Kirk in Perth, asking him questions about the new book, his research and his approach to writing.

Born in Glasgow, Peter (66) was an award-winning journalist by the age of 21 and went on to write for The Scotsman and the Glasgow Evening Times.

He left newspapers for television and screenwriting, creating three prime-time British drama series and accruing more than 1000 TV credits.

He is published in 30 countries and has sold several million copies worldwide – including The Lewis Trilogy which has sold over five million copies in the UK alone and included his breakthrough novel ‘The Blackhouse’.

Tickets for this Culture Perth and Kinross event which lasts from 7-9 pm on Tuesday, January 15, are £7.

Tickets are available from the AK Bell Library, Perth or online via Eventbrite. Booking is essential.

The event is sponsored by Thorntons Solicitors and Estate Agents.
