We are delighted to welcome award-winning crime write M.P. Wright to Syston Bookshop for a truly special evening on Monday, October 6th.

This one-off event marks the exclusive launch of No Pockets in a Shroud, a brand new, limited edition hardback collection of short stories set in the world of Wright's acclaimed detective, J.T. Ellington.

Published in support of AgeUK Leicester Shire & Rutland, this collection will not be available in bookshops or online. Only a small number of copies will be printed - making this a rare oppurtunity for fans and collectors alike.

What to expect on the night:

A live conversation with M.P. Wright, chaired by crime writer and journalist Tony R Cox
An exclusive reading from the author's upcoming novel, Everybody's Sky
Audience Q&A
Exclusive personal copy of Mark's new short story collection, No Pockets in a Shroud.
Chance to have your personal copy signed by Mark on the night!
Available for sale on the night - A range of signed, preloved copies of M.P. Wright's previous novels

Please note: Seating is very limited and early booking is strong advised.

This will be M.P. Wright's only live appearance in 2025, and we expect high demand.

All proceeds from the night will go towards supporting the work of AgeUK Leicester Shire & Rutland.
