An Evening With Author Val McDermid

Belmont Library, Giovedì, Gennaio 26, 2012 alle 7pm

Val McDermid in tour per The Retribution.

In The Retribution, criminal psychologist Hill and DCI Jordan are back on the trail of Jacko Vance, the charismatic sports and TV star and serial killer of The Wire in the Blood. He has escaped from prison with a head full of vengeance and heart full of malice. As in all her novels, McDermid creates a brooding tension that allows readers to get close to characters whose lives are about to be ripped apart. A reception sponsored by the Friends of the Belmont Library will start at 6:30pm and a book selling and signing will follow the author's presentation. (MuranoBlue)… (altro)

Val McDermid signs A Darker Domain (Harper hc, $24.95). Scotland's head of the Cold Case Review Team, DI Karen Pirie has new leads on two interesting cases: A young woman has recently reported a minor missing after a labor action – 23 years after he left home; and an heiress was kidnapped and was killed even though the ransom was paid and the case went unsolved – until a tourist in Tuscany finds something that might make a difference.

Val McDermid

Seattle Public Library - Central Library, Domenica, Febbraio 15, 2009 alle 2pm

Val McDermid legge da Un territorio oscuro.

More than 20 years after the abduction, a journalist’s discovery in Tuscany reopens the case, with DI Karen Pirie leading the investigation. "A Darker Domain" is a psychological thriller that ties together a kidnapping, a botched payoff and a national miner’s strike from 25 years ago. The book mixes crime and social commentary and introduces, as The Scottish Daily Record says, "a ballsy new heroine who deserves a series all of her own." Val McDermid, author of 25 crime novels, grew up in a Scottish mining community, read English at Oxford and has worked as a journalist. McDermid has won the Gold Dagger Award for Best Crime Novel and the LA Times Book of the Year Award. Rumor has it she also does a great Elvis impersonation. This program is presented in cooperation with The Elliott Bay Book Company. Books will be available for purchase and signing. (KingRat)… (altro)

Val McDermid discusses and signs A Darker Domain

Changing Hands Bookstore, Venerdì, Febbraio 13, 2009 alle 7pm

Val McDermid, Un territorio oscuro.

DIESEL, A Bookstore in BRENTWOOD is pleased to welcome New York Times-bestselling author, Val McDermid to the store as she discusses her superb new psychological thriller, A Darker Domain. If you have a book lover for a partner or spouse, this is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day, so don't miss out on the fun! Check out these great reviews she's gotten so far:
'Absorbing modern mystery... McDermid's mix of historical and literary clues with modern detection is handled with panache' - The Times 'One of the world's leading mystery writers... Thomas Harris crossed with Agatha Christie, if you will... a great read' - Observer 'A cleverly plotted thriller. It should gain her a crowd of new fans' - Guardian 'One of her best’ - Literary Review 'A real page-turner and another McDermid triumph' - Observer 'McDermid's plot is a classic, and she pulls out all the stops to achieve a sense of mounting anguish, as her hero juggles multiple red herrings, mixed loyalties, differing police agendas and complicated family ties. Impeccable' - Guardian 'Reminiscent of one of Ruth Rendell's Barbara Vine thrillers – a few more sly, old-fashioned whodunits like this and she'll join the sturdy ranks of the queens of crime, on course to become Dame Val or Baroness McDermid' - Sunday Times (booksense)… (altro)

Val McDermid

Murder By The Book, Mercoledì, Febbraio 11, 2009 alle 6:30pm

Val McDermid firma A Darker Domain.

New York Times best-selling author Val McDermid will sign & discuss her new stand-alone crime novel, A Darker Domain (Harper; $24.99), her most autobiographical to date. The book mixes fiction with one of the most symbolic and exceptional moments in recent history — the national miners' strike — and comes pretty close to home for the author. McDermid comes from a mining family: her grandfathers were miners, so she decided to interject this element of her life into her fiction to create a searing, edge-of-your seat novel, that is a proud homage to her background.
