Join us for a thrilling discussion on faith in crime fiction with author Georgina Clarke! From the Golden Age to current day, crime fiction has drawn upon Christian stories and themes such as justice, redemption, innocence, and the prophetic voice; and of course some of these books even feature a clerical detective. Georgina Clarke the acclaimed author of the Lizzie Hardwicke mysteries set in 18th century London and The Dazzle of the Light – which was inspired by the Forty Thieves, a gang of notorious female thieves in East London – will be talking about her novels, faith in crime fiction and also what religious people – vicars, priests, monks and nuns – actually do and why they might make good sleuths.

As well as an author, Clarke – as Georgina Byrne – has been a priest since 1998, and variously a vicar, bishop’s chaplain, director of ordinands, and cathedral canon here in Worcester and currently teaches Christian doctrine and contextual theology at The Queen’s Foundation, an ecumenical theological centre in Birmingham.
