His most recent title, London Bridge in America: The Tall Story of a Transatlantic Crossing, was published earlier this year.

Max is a rock’n'roll musician, author and journalist who was drummer for swamp rock band Gallon Drunk. His writing career has encompassed short stories, journalism, songwriting, books on hipster slang (Straight From The Fridge, Dad) and cinema (Hardboiled Hollywood). His latest book Capital Crimes, looks at the seedy underbelly of London over the last 700 years.
They’ll be sharing strange but extraordinary, but true stories based in and around the capital.
