‘What I remember most is the touch on my face, and the way it was done: almost, despite everything, with a kind of love.’
A week-long writing course led by professional authors. Glorious midsummer weather and a beautiful, inspiring house deep in the country. What could be better for a group of unpublished writers determined to hone their skills and learn the secrets of their trade?
But secrets come at a price. Sooner or later someone has to pay for them.
Andrew Taylor is a crime and historical novelist, winner of the Cartier Diamond Dagger (for lifelong excellence in the genre) and the triple winner of the Historical Dagger.
