Step behind the caution tape for a thorough examination of crime and true crime with some of Queensland’s foremost writers in the genre.  


Join Matthew Condon (Thee Crooked Kings, The Night Dragon), Jack Roney (The Ghost Train and the Scarlet Moon, Jarrod O'Conner Series), and Megan Norris (Perfect Victim, Look What You Made Me Do) as they break down how they expertly weave mystery, suspense, and intrigue into their work and share insights into their writing process from research to release. Discussion will delve into the distinct challenges and ethical considerations of writing within the crime genre, how real-life cases colour their stories or why they choose to cover a true crime case and how Queensland's unique history, culture, and landscape shapes their writing.
