Neil Oliver

Neil Oliver is something of a national institution: presenter of Coast and The History Detectives, he has been at the forefront of the resurgence of interesting, intelligent television programmes in recent years. Now he turns his keen archaeological and historical knowledge to fiction. Neil is, as we all know, a superb speaker and has an effortlessly accessible approach to explain distant events. Join us as we celebrate the publication of Master of Shadows, a superb imagining of the mysterious life of a real-life Scottish engineer, who became embroiled in the Siege of Constantinople.

Please note, the venue has chaged since first announced.
