The Reading Agency and Little, Brown have teamed up with the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival to offer two tickets to the event on 18 July, plus a night's stay at the Majestic Hotel in Harrogate.
To enter, crime fans should come up with a cryptic crossword clue to their favourite crime novel. The clue, the title of the book it relates to and the book's author should be submitted by 22 June.
‘We're really looking forward to seeing what happens when crime fiction fans put all their imagination, ingenuity and guile into coming up with a cryptic clue to their favourite novel,' says Katy Mendham of The Reading Agency. 'And what better way to reward the fan who comes up with the best clue, than a chance to hear this internationally-acclaimed author talk at this top festival celebrating the crime fiction genre?’
The Silkworm is the follow-up to The Cuckoo's Calling, and also features PI Cormoran Strike.
