Even the CIA... come along and hear Tim dissect the Spycatcher scandal with @gavinesler at Clapham Book Festival on Saturday at @OmnibusTheatre Tickets available at payhip.com/claphambookfestiv… Get yours now.
If you need any more recommendation, even the CIA calls my @iconbooks investigative spy expose & legal drama "captivating", "cogent" and "exceedingly well" written. And who am I to disagree ?
And no one will be 'economical with the truth'! Come along and hear Tim and Gavin Esler dissect the scandal on Saturday evening at @OmnibusTheatre Clapham. Tickets at payhip.com/claphambookfestiv…

Very much looking forward to this.
It's quite a tale: spy scandals, cover-ups, smears, lies to Parliament ... and an epic courtroom drama.
See you there !
Peter Wright (ex-MI5) wanted to publish his memoires and Margaret Thatcher, PM, wanted to stop him. The Spycatcher affair went to a Sydney courtroom and beyond. Come and hear @TimTateBooks and @gavinesler discuss the evidence @ClaphamBookFest Tickets at payhip.com/claphambookfestiv…
The Clapham Book Festival is approaching! We’re super excited about our line-up this year
Join us at Omnibus Theatre on Saturday 11th October!
