Eleni Kyriacou & Saima Mir: Crime, Punishment and Power

19 Oct 2024

14:30 - 15:30

Ilkley Playhouse

Two writers at the top of their game discuss the art of crime writing. Award-winning writers *Eleni Kyriacou *and *Saima Mir *explore how themes of trust, justice, family dynamics and the powerful vs the powerless run through their work. Kyriacou’s compelling historical crime novel *The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou* follows a Cypriot grandmother in London accused of murder and forced to rely on a translator to plead her case. *Vengeance,* Mir’s tension-filled follow-up to the bestselling *The Khan*, reunites readers with Jia Khan as she runs her late father’s organised crime syndicate in the north of England. This event has a limited number of bursary tickets available for people who might not otherwise be able to afford them. You can apply here.
