Angry Robot Presents.....

Saturday October 12th 12.30pm - 3.00pm the St Mark's Church Hall

Throughout Saturday, we're giving a carefully chosen selection of the most exciting and innovative publishers around an opportunity to share with you what makes them so special.

This will culminate in a discussion at The Big Green Bookshop in the evening, where a representative of each of these publishers will be on a panel discussing the book industry and its future.

We've given each publisher completely free reign to do whatever they like, but each of them has come up with something that should tempt you give them a visit.

Letters From A Murderer by John Matthews brings one of London's most prolific murder mysteries - The Ripper - across the Atlantic to New York, where aristocratic English pathologist Finley Jameson must work with Joseph Argenti, a streetwise New York cop, to solve this case, once and for all.
