For decades Australian crime writing has been defined by tropes of the isolated outback setting of lone gums and red dirt, but a new generation of writers are reimagining the genre.

In this panel discussion, acclaimed Australian novelist of Scrublands and, most recently, Legacy, Chris Hammer, debut author of Melaleuca Angie Faye Martin and Irish-born writer Dervla McTiernan, known for her Cormac Reilly series and international bestseller What Happened to Nina?, explore the limits and possibilities of Australian crime fiction.

Dive deep into the beloved subgenre with Chris, Angie and Dervla, in conversation with host Matthew Condon.
