Jonathan Coe: The Proof of My Innocence

Presented as part of Durham Book Festival

Jonathan Coe takes on the state of the nation once again in his satirical new novel, The Proof of My Innocence, exploring the lengths a sinister think-tank will go to in their scheme to push the British Government further to the far-right, and two friends-turned-detectives who are determined to uncover the truth in this blistering political critique wrapped up in a murder mystery.

Birmingham-born Jonathan Coe is the award-winning, bestselling author of 14 novels including What a Carve Up!, The Rotters’ Club, Middle England and Bournville.
