Renowned American writer, Tess Gerristen will be introducing the 11th instalment in her popular crime series in Ely, in January.

Ms Gerristen will be talking about Die Again the new story featuring Rizzoli and Isles, one of the great female cop partnerships, at the Old Bishops Palace, on Tuesday, January 13.

When a man is found dead in Boston, there are clear links to a series of mysterious deaths in Botswana. Soon Rizzoli and Isles find themselves in Africa, untangling the web of mystery and lies surrounding murders that are six years apart.

A spokesman for Topping said: “This promises to be a fascinating evening with one of the most exciting crime writers of the 21st century- a rare opportunity for Tess’s UK fans to meet her in person.”

Tickets for the event, which starts at 7.30pm, are £6. For more information, and to purchase tickets, visit www.toppingbooks.co.uk or call 01353 645005.
