​Join the Sunday Times bestselling (and Simply Books, Paperback of the Year) author behind SEVEN DAYS.

In conversation with Simply Books owner, Karen, you’ll discover how Robert writes his page-turning crime fiction and what it takes to write twists so good that even we didn’t see them coming.

​Afterwards, Rob will be taking your questions and signing copies of his brand new paperback, The Missing Hour.

​About The Missing Hour

​YOUR HUSBAND HAS BEEN ARRESTED.
Maggie’s husband is suddenly arrested in the middle of the night, on suspicion of murder.
When Grant dies in custody, her world implodes.

EVERYONE BELIEVES HE IS GUILTY.
All the evidence points to Grant being a killer – including DNA at the scene.
But how can this be true when he was with Maggie all night?

ONLY YOU CAN PROVE THEM WRONG.
Following a trail of deception, it’s up to her to uncover the truth.
But Maggie has a secret too. Something she hasn’t told anyone.

She was with her husband all night – apart from one missing hour…
