Join us for an unforgettable evening with award-winning crime writer Vaseem Khan as he takes audiences on a thrilling journey from 1950s India to the secret world of MI6.
In Shaken and Stirred: From Headless Corpses in India to the Hidden History of James Bond... and Q, Vaseem explores the inspiration behind his acclaimed Malabar House mystery series before revealing the research and ideas that led to The Man with the Golden Compass—the latest instalment in his acclaimed 'clever cosy' mystery series featuring Q, the legendary quartermaster from the James Bond universe.
Blending history, mystery and espionage with warmth and humour, Vaseem offers a fascinating insight into his writing journey, the art of crafting compelling crime fiction and the enduring appeal of one of Britain's most iconic fictional worlds.
Whether you're a lifelong crime fiction fan, a James Bond enthusiast or simply enjoy discovering the stories behind the books, this promises to be an entertaining and inspiring evening.
