'After killing the red-haired man, I took myself off to Quinn's for an oyster supper...' So begins an extraordinary story of love and deceit, passion and revenge set in Victorian England. It will hold the listener in its thrall until its final thrilling revelation.
Michael Cox has been planning and drafting his first novel, The Meaning Of Night, for thirty years. He is a former editor at Oxford University Press and biographer of the ghost story writer M. R. James. His lifelong passion for Victorian literature led him to edit a number of collections of short fiction from the period, including The Oxford Book Of Victorian Detective Stories. He lives in rural Northamptonshire - where The Meaning Of Night is partly set - with his wife.
