Monday 19 November 2012 - Deaths and Disappearances
This week a retro Melbourne crime special!
We have a couple of books that are both more whydunit than whodunit set among the mean streets of working class Melbourne, but that's about where the similarities end.
We're starting off in 1933 with The Richmond Conspiracy by Andrew Grimes, which begins, as all good crime novels should, with a ruthless businessman found dead in a warehouse. Annamarie Reyes did some investigating and finds out what inspired the novel.
Next up Jacqui Le chats with Peter Twohig, winner of this year's Ned Kelly Award for crime fiction for his novel, The Cartographer. In this story, an 11-year old boy who witnesses a murder relies on the bravado of superhero comics and detective stories as a guide for survival, on the run from a killer who's seen his face.
And finally Neda Vanovac chats with American author Morgan Callan Rogers, whose first novel is set among the close-knit fishing communities of north-eastern America.
