Join author JS Monroe as he opens @thatchamfest at Thatcham Bowling Club as talks about his new contemporary thriller, No Place To Hide, a loose retelling of Christopher Marlowe's 'Dr Faustus'.

JS Monroe worked as a foreign correspondent in Delhi, and was Weekend editor of the Daily Telegraph before becoming a full- time writer. His psychological thriller Find Me became a bestseller in 2017, and, under his real name Jon Stock, he is also the author of five spy thrillers
