Ben will be talking about his brand new book, The Specialist: How to Clean a Crime Scene and Other MessesIt 's the breathtaking, unputdownable insider account of Britain's most hidden professionWhat happens after the police tape comes down?Ben Giles has spent thirty years cleaning what most people can't bear to imagine. Dead bodies decomposing for weeks. Kitchen floors painted with blood. Hoarders' homes where the filth tells stories of unimaginable loneliness. A whale carcass lodged on a cargo ship. This is the Britain you never see – until someone needs to make it disappear.Starting with nothing but a bucket of Dettol and a can-do attitude, Giles built the UK's leading biohazard cleaning network. From industrial spillages to animal remains, he's faced horrors that would break most people – and taught hundreds of people to do the same, in full hazmat gear. Yet threaded through the gore and dark humour is something unexpected: profound compassion for the lives interrupted, the families destroyed, and the deaths that society prefers to forget.The Specialist takes you behind the scenes of suicides, murders, and tragic accidents — revealing not just which chemicals remove bloodstains, and how, but what violence, neglect, and loss actually look like when the rest of us can only look away. It's unflinching, occasionally hilarious, and utterly unforgettable. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/swansea/the-specialist-ben-giles-at-swansea/100001988164841561 - **Event Categories**: Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 3, max: 22, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Swansea - **state**: WA - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Waterstones - **lat**: 51.619309 - **long**: -3.946623 - **full address**: Waterstones, 17 Whitewalls, Swansea, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Specialist: Ben Giles at Swansea - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/8ef14d49eee94d959fa7f0434483af98b580cd1465a3775bb6814ef151b4671c-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf3f3f3-gmir.jpg?v=1777385777 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Specialist: Ben Giles at Swansea being held? - **A:** The Specialist: Ben Giles at Swansea takes place on Wed, 27 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 27 May, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Waterstones, 17 Whitewalls, Swansea, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Specialist: Ben Giles at Swansea? - **A:** The Specialist: Ben Giles at Swansea is organized by Waterstones. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Waterstones's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Waterstones a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
