Vaseem Khan comes to Topping & Company Booksellers Bath to celebrate his brand new book in his Q Mysteries series The Man with the Golden Compass.
Fresh from successfully reinvestigating his childhood friend's mysterious death, Q is hired as a civilian contractor by the police in his sleepy hometown to look into the unsolved murder of tech millionaire turned online antique dealer, Laurence Noble.
Six months ago, Noble was tortured and killed, a circular object made of gold and inscribed with mysterious runes found in his pocket.
As Q investigates, he finds himself dragged into a chilling conspiracy where past and present meet in a way he could not possibly have imagined.
