Alex Michaelides in conversation at Waterstones Piccadilly

We’re delighted to welcome Alex Michaelides to Waterstones Piccadilly to celebrate the publication of his new thriller The Fury. From the author of The Silent Patient and The Maidens comes a compelling closed community thriller, as a former movie star throws a select party on a private Greek island whilst a murderer lurks in the shadows.

Alex Michaelides was born in Cyprus to an English mother and a Greek-Cypriot father. He has an M.A. in English from Trinity College, Cambridge University, and an M.A. in Screenwriting from the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. The Silent Patient, his first novel, was a Sunday Times bestseller, and debuted at no. 1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and has sold more than 7.5 million copies worldwide. It continues to be a New York Times top 10 bestseller, nearly four years after publication. The rights have been sold in a record-breaking 50 countries and it has been optioned for film by Plan B. His second novel, The Maidens, was an instant Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller and has been optioned for television by Miramax and Stone Village.

Please note: book and ticket option includes a copy of The Fury (RRP £18.99) available for collection on the night
