What are you waiting for? Lets go!
Hi, there! I’m Adam Oyebanji, author of the critically acclaimed, Canopus-Award-shortlisted and BSFA-longlisted SF novel, Braking Day. This is the same Adam Oyebanji who recently gave himself a literary identity crisis by also penning the very earthbound (and also critically acclaimed) murder mystery, A Quiet Teacher. I’m a paid-up member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association, the British Science Fiction Association, and the Crime Writers’ Association.
Adam will be attending An Afternoon of Crime at the Aberdeen Central Library on May 7, 2024 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.
He will be discussing all things crime and giving a world-first reading from his upcoming novel, Two Times Murder. Space is limited so be sure to book ahead of time to avoid disappointment!
Granite Noir is inspired by the incredible popularity of crime fiction in all its forms, by the fantastic contribution that Scottish writers make, by its love affair with Nordic Noir, on the page and on screen, and most of all inspired by Aberdeen, which is the perfect backdrop for the festival – steeped in history, atmospheric, quirky and with a strong sense of place.
Chaired by Jacky Collins
Three emerging authors from inspiring publishers come together on stage.
In Adam Oyebanji’s A Quiet Teacher we meet Greg Abimbola – a language teacher at the prestigious Calderhill Academy in Pittsburgh. Only that’s not his real name . . . or the only secret he’s hiding. Greg has a closetful.
Jesse Greer discovers troubled older sister Crys’ remains in the woods behind his family’s house. Traumatised, Jesse runs to his parents for help, only to find that Crys has returned home, alive. The False Sister by Briar Ripley Page brings chills from page one.
Imagine copy upon copy of yourself! This is exactly what’s dealt by Maud Woolf to her characters in Thirteen Ways to Kill Lulabelle Rock. Set in a world of the near future, the celebrity elite have access to a technology that allows them to make perfect copies of themselves.
