EVENT INFORMATION

We are delighted to welcome David Coubrough to discuss his own journey to discovering like all of us ‘he had a book inside of him’.  Hear how he found the inspiration to start writing and planning the story during a poignant time in his life.

About the book

St Ives, Cornwall, 1972: A group of families get together on holiday, but their vacation is devastated by a poisoning, a drowning and a cryptic cover-up. Seventeen-year-old Grant Morrison has long been preoccupied by the murky past, and, more than forty years on, he heads back to the West Country to shed light on the bizarre and tragic events of that summer…
