Leonardo St Paul's, London
12:10 - 13:00
Kellye Garrett, and Vaseem Khan
in conversation with
participating moderator Ed James.
Kellye Garrett spent 8 years working in Hollywood,
including a stint writing for the CBS drama Cold Case. People were always
surprised to learn what she did for a living - probably because she seemed way
too happy to be brainstorming ways to murder people. A former magazine editor,
Kellye holds a B.S. in magazine writing from Florida A&M and an MFA in
screenwriting from USCs famed film school. Having moved back to her native New
Jersey, she spends her mornings commuting to Manhattan for her job at a leading
media company - while still happily brainstorming ways to commit murder.
Vaseem Khan was born in London in 1973. He
studied finance at the London School of Economics. He first saw an elephant
lumbering down the middle of the road in 1997 when he arrived in the city of
Mumbai, India to work as a management consultant. This surreal sight inspired
his Baby Ganesh Agency series of 'gritty cosy crime' novels. His aim with the
series is to take readers on a journey to the heart of modern India. He
returned to the UK in 2006 and has since worked at University College London
for the Department of Security and Crime Science. Elephants are third on his
list of passions, first and second being great literature and cricket, not
always in that order. His first book The
Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra was a Times Bestseller and an
Amazon Best Debut. The second in the series Perplexing
Theft of The Jewel in The Crown won the 2017 Shamus Award for Best Original
Private Investigator Paperback. His latest book in the Malabar House series is Death
of A Lesser God, published in 2023.
