Vaseem Khan writes two award-winning crime series set in India. In
2021, Midnight at Malabar House, the first in the Malabar
House novels set in 1950s Bombay, won the Crime Writers
Association Historical Dagger. His latest is The Girl in Cell A,
a psychological thriller set in small town America. Vaseem is also the author
of the upcoming Quantum of Menace, the first in a series featuring
Q from the James Bond franchise.
Tom Mead is the author of the Joseph Spector locked-room

Murder Wheel and Cabaret Macabre, have been critically
acclaimed, published in ten languages (and counting!), and nominated for
numerous awards. A short-story collection, The Indian Rope Trick (and

Spector novel, The House at Devil's Neck, is published in August

Ovidia Yu
is a Singapore based writer who schedules (for the last time, alas!) her visits
to the UK to attend Crimefest. The nine books in her tree history mystery
series feature authentic locations, events and heritage trees in Singapore and
have been described as a good introduction to the atmosphere, humour and food
of Singapore. Her most recent books are The Angsana Tree Mystery (2024)
and The Rose Apple Tree Mystery (2025).
Donna Moore is the author of crime fiction and historical

Old Dogs, was shortlisted for both the Lefty and Last Laugh Awards. Her
third novel, The Unpicking, is set in Victorian and Edwardian Scotland
and the follow-up, The Devil’s Draper, set in 1919, was published in May
2024.
