Creative Aging Books & Ideas presents, on Thursday, May 30, our very own award-winning maestro of Canadian crime writing, B.C. author, William Deverell, whose first book, Needles, (1979) won the $50,000 Seal First Novel Award.
In fact, it was Needles that sparked many Deverell fans “love affair” with this highly entertaining Canadian icon, whose characters are hard-living spark plugs that you want to just hang out with, to get to know them better.
As a lawyer in Vancouver for 20 years, Deverell was counsel for over a thousand criminal cases, 30 of them murder trials, and as such, the author’s knowledge of the judicial system, judges, courtroom antics and back room deals is like a multi-coloured paint brush that dabs and details the eccentric quirks and characteristics of some very intriguing characters, most especially Arthur Beauchamp, who we’ve met before in some of Deverell’s previous novels, (there are now 20 in total), and who we meet once again in Deverell’s new novel, “The Long-Shot Trial.”
