A crime thriller set in Worcester will take centre stage at a special author event.
Former BBC radio presenter and novelist Tony Fisher will be talking about his latest novel, Good Gone Bad, at The Hive library in Worcester on July 8—the very location where much of the novel was written.
Mr Fisher said: "I’ve loved writing about locations around the city.
"One of the characters lives in the Arboretum, another in Warndon, and there’s one who we never quite figure out exactly where they live.
"Another lives in Bromsgrove but travels to work at Worcestershire Royal Hospital."
The book also features several recognisable locations including The Hive, Pitchcroft Racecourse, The Talbot, and Château Impney.
Good Gone Bad tells the story of Charlie Burrows, a husband and father whose hidden choices put his family at risk, and Danny Wade, a podcaster rebuilding his life after addiction.
The pair are drawn into a dangerous world where loyalty, fear, and survival collide.
Mr Fisher has spent 40 years in broadcasting, with experience on stations such as Wyvern FM and BBC Hereford and Worcester.
He has also written several novels and has long wanted to set a story in Worcester.
He said: "I’ve seen crime novels set in Birmingham, Bristol, London, all of those places, but never Worcester.
"I’ve called Worcester home for most of the last 20 years.
"It’s a brilliant place to live and it has been fantastic to set a crime novel here."
At the event, Mr Fisher will read from his novel, discuss his background in broadcasting, and take questions from the audience.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase.
He said: "I’m already working on book number two. I’m planning on making this a trilogy and I’m really looking forward to connecting with people who are interested in crime fiction."
The event is free, but tickets should be booked in advance through The Hive’s website.
