Join Griffin Books to welcome bestselling author Karen Maitland to discuss her new novel 'The Drowned City'.

Gunpowder and treason changed England forever. But the tides are turning and revenge runs deep in this compelling historical thriller.

1606. England stands divided in the wake of the failed Gunpowder Plot. As a devastating tidal wave sweeps the Bristol Channel, rumours of new treachery reach the King.

In Newgate prison, Daniel Pursglove receives an unexpected - and dangerous - offer. Charles FitzAlan, close confidant of King James, will grant his freedom - if Daniel can infiltrate the underground Catholic network in Bristol and unmask the one conspirator still at large.

'Catch Your Breath' is a gut punch of a memoir by an anaesthetist - and comedian - whose job is to keep people alive by putting them to sleep.

Ed Patrick is an anaesthetist. Strong drugs for his patients, strong coffee for him. But it's not just sleep-giving for this anaesthetist, as he navigates emergencies, patients not breathing for themselves and living with a terrifying sense of responsibility.
It's enough to leave anyone feeling numb. But don't worry, there's plenty of laughing gas to be had.

Join Griffin Books to welcome Ed to Penarth, in the beautiful location of Penarth Pier Pavillion, where he will be interviewed by Cardiff local Doctor Matt Morgan. This is certainly not an event to be missed.
