Disappearances, secrets, and espionage — join three acclaimed crime writers as they delve into the dark and gripping world of missing persons in fiction.

Simon Mason is the author of the critically acclaimed Oxford-set DI Ryan Wilkins Mysteries featuring a mismatched detective duo, starting with A Killing in November. Simon is also the author of the highly-praised Finder Mysteries, the latest of which The Woman Who Laughed continue his fascination with the mysteries of disappearance.

Jane Thynne is a novelist, journalist and broadcaster, having worked at the Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph and the BBC. Appointment in Paris is the sequel to Midnight in Vienna, which received stunning reviews and marked the launch of her series featuring Fox and Fry. Writing as C.J. Carey, she’s also the author of the acclaimed dystopian novels Widowland and Queen High.

Lisa Walker is an award-nominated Australian author whose latest novel, The Pact, is a psychological suspense story inspired by her own journey along the Camino de Santiago. It’s her first foray into crime fiction — and it’s already turning heads.

The panel will be moderated by Jo Durrant, presenter of Jo Durrant’s Beautiful Universe podcast.
