In partnership with Sevenoaks Bookshop, join Anita Sivakumaran to celebrate the publication of her new breathless thriller, Cold Sun, as part of the Dialogue Book Lounge.

Bangalore. Three high-profile women murdered, their bodies draped in identical red saris.

When the killer targets the British Foreign Minister's ex-wife, Scotland Yard sends the troubled, brilliant DI Vijay Patel to lend his expertise to the Indian police investigation. Soon, the killer's eyes will turn to Patel, and also to Chandra Subramanium, the fierce female detective he is working with in Bangalore.

A superb new voice in crime fiction, Sivakumaran will be in conversation for this virtual event, exploring what it means to return as a stranger to your ancestral home, whilst trying to save your relationship back home.

An exhilarating introduction to the DI Patel detective series, this is an event you don’t want to miss.
