On Wednesday 29 March 2023, we will welcome James Naughtie to our Literary Lounge to read an excerpt from his latest novel – The Spy Across the Water.

This novel is the third instalment in James’ brilliant spy series, woven around three brothers bound together forever through espionage. Will Flemyng, originally trained as a spy, is now the British ambassador to the United States in Washington. Meanwhile, his older brother Mungo is recuperating from a heart attack in their beloved family home in the Scottish Highlands. Abel, the youngest of the three, has died mysteriously in America.

James Naughtie is a British radio and news presenter for the BBC, hosting the Today Programme for 21 years, covering the UK election results since 1997 and every US presidential election since 1988.

A raffle on the night will benefit a charity of the author’s choice, Social Bite – a charity and social business providing homes, jobs, food, and support to empower people to transform their own lives by pioneering solutions that create lasting change.
