Meeting
Join us for a fascinating session with Stephen Booth, Nottinghamshire crime novelist and creator of the award‑winning Cooper & Fry series. Drawing on his years as a journalist and his long career as a bestselling author, Stephen reveals the real‑life inspirations behind his stories, the craft of crime writing, and how the Peak District became the atmospheric backdrop for detectives Ben Cooper and Diane Fry. His books have been translated into 16 languages and recently inspired a new Channel 5 TV series — making this an unmissable talk for readers and crime‑fiction fans alike.
