Robert Harris is the bestselling author of Fatherland, The Ghostwriter, Munich, and more. Act of Oblivion is his spellbinding new novel reimagining the biggest manhunt of the 17th century: the search for two Englishmen, charged in the killing of King Charles I…


1660. Colonel Edward Whalley and his son-in-law, Colonel William Goffe, cross the Atlantic. They are on the run and wanted for the murder of Charles I. Under the provisions of the Act of Oblivion, they have been found guilty in absentia of high treason. In London, Richard Nayler, secretary of the regicide committee of the Privy Council, is tasked with tracking down the fugitives. He’ll stop at nothing until the two men are brought to justice. A reward hangs over their heads – for their capture, dead or alive.


Act of Oblivion is an epic journey across continents, and a chase like no other.


Robert Harris is the author of fourteen bestselling novels including the Cicero Trilogy – Imperium, Lustrum and Dictator – Fatherland, Enigma, The Ghost, An Officer and a Spy, which won four prizes including the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction, and more. His work has been translated into forty languages and he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature.


This event will be followed by a book signing.

    • So your remedy for anyone harming an animal, amongst which I assume you include at least all insects, is, well, to kill an animal. Good and logical call. Hyperbole only gets you so far, you know. 
    • Hello, just wondered if you found anything? I'm also looking for a studio space, perhaps sharing. 
    • From what I have gathered from Bradbury Oak residents  I have spoken with, that at a meeting with RNIB earlier in the year, none of the residents were in favour of new build. There is the implication that rent rises are anticipated to help towards building costs. Rent is currently in the region of £300 pw - as with most sheltered housing (council and Housing Association), Since these rents also include maintenance charges, utility charges - Housing Benefit is only applicable to the actual 'rent element' per flat.
    • At the Dulwich Hill SNT meeting last night we spoke about Met. Engage. Dulwich Hill had signed up 185 households. Scheme  had been trialled in other parts of the country successfully and now the Met. Police are rolling it out, To the end of August, the Met Police had gathered 17,000 registrations which equites to 2% of households.
