P D James - The Lighthouse - talks and signings

The new book by P D James is on sale from 10 October, so my Faber and Faber newsletter tells me.  It takes Commander Adam Dalgliesh down to the Cornwall coast...

She will be signing at Hatchards, Picadilly, London on Tuesday 11th at 12:30pm and at Waterstone's Picadilly on Thursday 27th at 7pm, where she will also discuss the new book. Cost for the latter is £3.

P D James is also sharing the stage with Ian Rankin at the Everyman Theatre in the Cheltenham Literary Festival on Wednesday 12th at 6.30pm.  (Tickets £8.)  The two authors are "...united at last to discuss two of the nation's most intriguing detectives: Rebus and Dalgliesh."

Cheltenham Literary Festival – P D James and Ian Rankin, 12 October 2005 The authors were interviewed by Pamela Armstrong, the former ITN News at Ten newsreader, and appeared at the time of publication of the following books: P D James: The Lighthouse (fiction) Ian Rankin: Rebus's Scotland (a partly autobiographical travelogue) and The Flood (fiction and an early example of what Rankin may have written had he not been inspired by his series character, Rebus). Armstrong kicked off by announcing that she would play devil’s advocate with her first question.
