Isle of Man-based author Chris Ewan has launched his latest crime novel Safe House at an event hosted by the Henry Bloom Noble Library in the community room of Noble’s Park Pavilion.

During the evening Mr Ewan read extracts from and signed copies of his book, a thriller set in the Isle of Man and hailed as ‘a compelling contemporary read.’ The novel has been chosen as one of the independent booksellers’ choices for August in the Bookseller magazine and is being published as Faber and Faber's lead summer crime title.
