In Athens, Mosse will be in conversation with Scottish writer Paul Johnston. Labyrinth is published in Greece by Kedros, which will also bring out «Sepulchre» later this year. Mosse’s new best-seller «Sepulchre,» currently on the UK best-seller list, a mystery of revenge and obsession, is also set in southern France. Now, as crusading armies gather outside the city walls of Carcassonne, it will take a tremendous sacrifice to keep the secret of the labyrinth safe. The book, he says, contains the secret of the true Grail, and the ring, inscribed with a labyrinth, will identify a guardian of the Grail. Eight hundred years earlier: On the eve of a brutal crusade that will rip apart southern France, a young woman named Alais is given a ring and a mysterious book for safekeeping by her father. July 2005: In the Pyrenees near Carcassonne, Alice, a volunteer on an archaeological dig, stumbles into a cave and makes a startling discovery – two crumbling skeletons, strange writings on the walls, and the pattern of a labyrinth. «Labyrinth» brings together the lives of two women who are separated by time but united by a shared destiny. It was chosen as one of Waterstone’s Top 100 novels of the past 25 years and was voted the Richard & Judy Read of the Year 2006. It is an international No 1 best-seller, and has been translated into 37 languages including Greek. Author, broadcaster, co-founder of the Orange Prize for Fiction and the Orange Award for New Writers, an arts administrator and creative-writing teacher, Mosse had already had a high-profile career in the arts, when her third novel, «Labyrinth,» became a UK and international best-seller. Kate Mosse, author of the best-selling novel «Labyrinth,» will be in Greece next week to meet the public for the British Council’s UK Writers in Greece series.
