Murder and mayhem in ancient Rome
Fri 19 April, 1pm to 2pm at York Explore
Historical novelist Lindsey Davis is best known for her mystery series featuring Roman detective, Marcus Didius Falco. She has won the Crime Writers Association Historical Dagger, Dagger in the Library, and a Sherlock for Falco as Best Detective. In 2010 the city of Rome gave her the Premio Colosseo, awarded 'for enhancing the image of Rome'.
Her latest novel The Ides of April is the first of a new series set in Ancient Rome and featuring Flavia Albia, the adopted daughter of Falco. It takes place on the plebeian Aventine Hill, where we meet Albia’s personal circle – some familiar, some new. We glimpse old haunts and hear of old friends, in the company of Albia, as she fearlessly tackles inhumanity and injustice.

Smiley Riley
Sun 28 April, from 12noon at Mille Crux Fields (St John's Sports Club), Haxby Road
The Smiley Riley Fund UK is a non-profit making organisation that makes donations to families and carers of children with brain tumours having chemotherapy to help with their travelling costs.
