An Audience with Karin Smirnoff

Karin Smirnoff published her first novel aged 53 after completing a creative writing class, and two years ago she was asked by the Stieg Larsson estate to continue the story of Lisbeth Salander - a challenge she could not resist.

Join Karin and her British publisher, Katharina Bielenberg, for afternoon tea where they will be talking about Karin's writing career, her Dragon Tattoo novel, The Girl in the Eagle's Talons, and what it feels like to write one of the most iconic female characters in crime fiction.

Tickets are £5 per person and include coffee and cake.
