I Spy: Charles Cumming and James Naughtie at Bloody Scotland 2023

The Open University in Scotland is delighted to support I Spy: Charles Cumming and James Naughtie, chaired by Chris Merritt at Bloody Scotland 2023.

Join two talented and innovative authors who have taken the espionage novel into the 21st century.

Charles Cumming is a leading light in the new generation of British spy writers. His new novel Kennedy 35, the third in his electrifying new series surrounding covert intelligence organisation Box 88, sees Lachlan Kite haunted by an old mission to west Africa.

Former BBC presenter Jim Naughtie’s three atmospheric political thrillers featuring spy-turned-ambassador Will Flemyng have been hailed for their authenticity and craft. The third, The Spy Across the Water, is an electrifying story of courage and betrayal.

Tickets are £12 (£11 concession), available from the Bloody Scotland website.
