We were lucky enough to host the only book-signing by Jeremy Duns on his fleeting visit to England for the Harrogate Crime Festival. Jeremy was here to launch his new book and he attracted a lot of interest in the shop. We managed to get a few extra copies of his two thrillers signed and these are available in very limited quantities at both Warwick Books and Kenilworth Books. It was great to meet Jeremy and talk to him about the joys of being an author and living in Sweden home of course of two other thriller writers Stieg Larsson and Henrik Mankel. Jeremy’s Swedish wife chatted happily about the various film and TV adaptations of these two authors, and we learned that the BBC has acquired the TV rights to Jeremy’s trilogy. So, watch this space!

Jeremy Duns writes: ‘It was a pleasure and a delight to visit Warwick Books to launch my latest novel, Free Country, the second part of my Cold War spy trilogy. Keith and his team looked after me and I chatted to several very interesting and, I hope, interested customers, about my inspirations and ideas for the novels, all the while soaking up the atmosphere of a real bookshop – I also took the opportunity to buy several books for research! So thank you, Warwick Books, for their hospitality and for making the event a success. I hope to return one day soon!’
