Torin will be interviewing the two writers about their books and the inspirations behind them Alex Gerlis was a BBC journalist for nearly thirty years and is the author of nine Second World war espionage thrillers. His first four novels are in the Spy Masters series, including the best-selling The Best of Our Spies which is currently being developed as a television series. His latest series is the Wolf Pack novels - Agent in Peril, the second in the series, will be published on 7 July. Charles Cumming was born in Scotland and graduated from the University of Edinburgh with First Class Honours in English Literature. In 1995, he was approached by the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) and used his experiences as the basis for his debut novel. His novels have been translated into thirteen languages. Judas 62 is his eleventh novel, the second in his new series featuring Lachlan Kite. He is winner of the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger and Bloody Scotland Crime Book of the Year. Torin Douglas is the director of the Chiswick Book Festival. He was the BBC’s media correspondent for 24 years and now organises, chairs and promotes arts and community events in Chiswick. The Chiswick Book Festival has strong links in Ealing and several Ealing authors will be speaking at the Festival events in Chiswick on 10 & 11 September, and once again there will be two events in Ealing itself - one at the University of West London on Tuesday 13 September and one at the ActOne cinema on Wednesday 14 September.
