Edward Chisholm – Daunt Books Marylebone
Edward Chisholm, author of the bestselling memoir A Waiter in Paris, will be joining Daunt Books Marylebone to discuss his new book, Murder in Paris ’68, a gripping investigation into one of the most sensational scandals of 1960s France.
Set within a world of glamorous film stars, casinos, nightclubs, criminals and compromised politicians, the book examines the murder of Stevan Marković, a friend, bodyguard and associate of French actor Alain Delon. As questions surrounding Delon’s connection to the crime begin to grow, the case develops into the notorious Marković Affair, drawing in everyone from actresses and directors to police officers, gangsters and political figures.
Blending extensive research with immersive narrative non-fiction, Chisholm recreates the atmosphere of 1960s Paris while exploring the blurred boundaries between celebrity, crime, cinema and political power.
Chisholm’s previous book, A Waiter in Paris, became a cult bestseller and has sold more than 100,000 copies. His writing has also appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian and the Financial Times Magazine.
Ticket includes a glass of wine or soft drink.
