Imagine sharing a book with your neighbour, with your hairdresser; with your bus driver, and with your friends. Having one book for one city brings readers together.

Brighton & Hove City Reads 2008 invites you to join in the three-month city-wide read of Val McDermid’s best-selling crime thriller A Place of Execution. From 13 March to 23 May, there’s a huge range of special events, workshops, reading groups, and film showings devoted to A Place of Execution and crime writing in general - including an exclusive City Reads visit to Brighton Festival by Val McDermid

To join in, simply pick up a copy from Brighton & Hove libraries, participating bookshops and book drop points around the city, and start reading. Also look out for the special City Reads reader's guide in bookshops and libraries.

Val McDermid is one of the world's best-selling crime writers. Her novels have won international acclaim and a number of prestigious awards including the Gold Dagger for best crime novel of the year.
