Capital Crime (major crime fiction event in London: September 2019).
Capital Crime, London’s first international crime and thriller festival, is arriving at the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden from 26th-28th September 2019.
The Capital Crime festival will offer fans access to crime and thriller creatives and is a celebration of books, films and TV – with its line-up a mix of big names, rising stars and newcomers.
Capital Crime intends to host a weekend of cocktail parties, private screenings and panels.
Among the list of 120 speakers are Kate Atkinson, David Baldacci, Ann Cleeves, Robert Harris, Peter James, Lynda La Plante, Mark Billingham, Simon Mayo, Kate Mosse, Tom Bradby, and Martina Cole.
The festival is the brainchild of author and screenwriter Adam Hamdy and Managing Director of Goldsboro Books, David Headley. Goldsboro Books will be the official bookseller for Capital Crime, selling paperbacks and a collection of rare and hard to find first edition hardbacks.
Martina Cole told SFcrowsnest, ‘We have all been waiting for a London based festival like Capital Crime. It’s fantastic to see such a diverse line up of crime and thriller writers taking part. David Headley and Adam Hamdy have put together an amazing programme of events for the first crime festival in London and I’m thrilled to be part of it.’
