The Nottingham launch of What You Don't Know
The Nottingham launch of What You Don't Know
Hear David Belbin read from and discuss the second novel in his bestselling, New Labour-era crime series, and to raise a glass to the book’s success – on the same day as the Mayoral referendum in Nottingham!
Set months after their first investigation in Bone and Cane, Sarah Bone MP and ex-con Nick Cane are now worlds away: she in the corridors of Westminster power and he on the inner-city streets of Nottingham. But crimes and conspiracies have a way of forcing them back together…
‘David Belbin is one of the finest crime writers around today. What You Don’t Know shows us the seedy underbelly of a dysfunctional society and lays bare the contradictions at the heart of modern Britain’
James Craig, author of London Calling
