It’s always a pleasure to host an event with Doug Johnstone and he’ll be back in the bookshop to launch the 20th anniversary edition of his very first novel, Tombstoning. Johnstone will be in conversation with fellow writer (and Fun Lovin’ Crime Writer) Chris Brookmyre.
This event will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience, as well as a livestream for attendees watching from home. There will be a signing after the event.
Please note that Tombstoning is published on 12th February. If you have signed up for a Book & In-person or a Book & Livestream option and would like to receive your copy ahead of the event on 25th February, please get in touch via our contact form and we’ll be happy to help.
In-person vouchers can be redeemed on the night of the event against a single copy of Tombstoning – we will have a list of attendees with vouchers to be redeemed. Please note that only one voucher can be redeemed per book. Livestream vouchers are valid until the day after the event and can be redeemed on our website against a single copy of Tombstoning.
About Tombstoning:
Your best mate just fell off a cliff in mysterious circumstances. You were the last person to see him alive. What do you do?
If you’re David Lindsay from Arbroath, you leg it – and don’t go back. Not for fifteen years.
Then Nicola Cruickshank – yes, that Nicola, the girl you always fancied but never had the guts to speak to – gets in touch. She wants you back for a school reunion. At the very place it happened. Of course you say yes. Not to lay ghosts to rest, but because you still fancy Nicola.
The thing is, if you are David Lindsay, then returning to Arbroath isn’t going to bring closure. Because when someone else tumbles off the cliffs – an act the locals now call tombstoning – David has a choice: run away again, or finally find out why people around him keep dying…
