In Green Ink, Stephen May reimagines the disappearance of Victor Grayson – Disgraced socialist firebrand, secret service informant, bisexual hedonist and a man who knew too much. His disappearance is one of British politics’ most beguiling mysteries. Stephen May presents his historical speculation with bite, wit, and electrifying drama.As Prime Minister David Lloyd George hides out with his mistress at Chequers, a scandal over the selling of public honours looms—and Grayson threatens to expose it all. But in 1920, secrets are dangerous, and the cost of truth might just be a life.Join acclaimed novelist Stephen May for an evening of intrigue, humour, and revolutionary politics as he discusses Green Ink, praised as ‘funny, scurrilous, revealing and memorable (Historical Novel Society) and a vivid and wholly credible recreation of post-Great War London’ (Robert Edric).Part political thriller, part literary mystery, Green Ink asks not only what happened to Victor Grayson—but what might still be happening today.Stephen May is the author of six novels including Life! Death! Prizes! which was shortlisted for the Costa Novel Award and The Guardian Not The Booker Prize. He has been shortlisted for the Wales Book of the Year and is a winner of the Media Wales Reader’s Prize. He has written plays, as well as for television and film. He lives in West Yorkshire.
