An evening with Chris Whitaker Edinburgh West End

We are thrilled to host the acclaimed crime novelist Chris Whitaker at our store on Wednesday, April 30th at 7pm to mark the paperback release of his captivating novel, *All the Colours of the Dark*. This gripping tale weaves together a missing persons enigma, a chilling serial killer narrative, and a profound love story, each infused with a surprising and distinctive twist.

During one fateful summer, the small town of Monta Clare is rocked by the kidnapping of local teen Joseph �Patch’ Macauley. No one feels the impact more deeply than Saint Brown, whose world crumbles with the loss of her closest friend. Her life becomes consumed by the desperate need to find him, though the reunion will shatter her heart.

Trapped in a suffocating, dark room, Patch endures endless solitude-perhaps for days, perhaps for weeks-until a hand reaches out to him. Her name is Grace, and though they are cloaked in darkness, she draws him out of despair with the vivid stories she tells. In this bleak confinement, they forge a deep bond and fall in love. But when Patch finally escapes, there’s no trace that Grace was ever real.

Determined to find her, Patch embarks on a monumental journey across the nation. Meanwhile, Saint follows in his footsteps, driven by a darker mission to track down the person responsible for their suffering. Uncovering the truth might come at the ultimate cost-losing each other for good.

Please note: This is a ticketed event.
