Port Fairy Literary Weekend - Fractured Lives and Hidden Evidence

Crime fiction is as much about the moral compromises of the living as it is about solving a death. In this discussion, Garry Disher explores community tensions pushed to the brink in regional Australia, while Mark Smith charts the personal and social fallout of buried truths in a modern eco-thriller. Fiona Hardy brings a fresh, pacey perspective with two irresistible hired hands cleaning up messes in the suburbs, and Lorena Carrington explores visual and literary puzzle-solving in a high-stakes road trip narrative.
