The Differences and Simularities
are discuussed by:
G.D.
Abson developed a lifelong obsession with Russia after
studying the revolution at school and Russian politics at university. He is the
author of Motherland, the first in a series featuring Senior
Investigator Natalya Ivanova, an idealist battling crime and corruption in
Vladimir Putin’s Russia. Motherland was a recommended read in The
Times/Sunday Times and a previous
CWA Debut Dagger shortlister. The second in the series, Black Wolf,
will be published in May 2019.
Quentin Bates escaped English
suburbia as a teenager at the end of the seventies. A gap year in Iceland
turned into a gap decade before returning to England with a family, a language
and a profession acquired in the far north. The joys of writing and translating
crime novels follow almost twenty years as a journalist on an obscure nautical
trade magazine.

Stuart
Field was born in the
UK, in the West Midlands. He spent his early years in the army, and now works
for a security firm in Germany. The first of his John Steel thriller series was
published by Crime Scene Books in 2018. The second instalment appears September
2019. He is currently also working on a standalone thriller with a very
different flavour.
