Last week we had the privilege of participating in the Penguin Random House Spring Festival for librarians (thanks to everyone who stopped by!). Three of our authors joined us in our virtual booth for live events: Mike Rothschild, Yan Ge, and Robert Lloyd. In case you weren’t able to make it, we’ve made the recordings available for all. Hope you enjoy!

Robert Lloyd, author of The Bloodless Boy, in conversation with Melville House editor Carl Bromley. Part Name of the Rose, part Silence of the Lambs, The Bloodless Boy is a rip-snorting new thriller set in Restoration London that introduces two new investigators, Hooke and Hunt of the Royal Society.
