Ned Kelly Award-nominated author Robert Gott joins us to discuss his most recent work, The Holiday Murders. Gott has established himself as a cartoonist with his Naked Man series and as a crime writer. His books include Good Murder, A Thing of Blood and Amongst the Dead. The Holiday Murders, a compelling page-turner of a novel set in 1943, explores a little-known and sometimes violent corner of Australian history, and finds oddly modern echoes in its paranoia, xenophobia, and ugly fervour. Robert will be in conversation with Angela Savage, author of Behind the Night Bazaar and winner of the Scarlet Stiletto Award

Cost: $110.00 for couples; $70.00 for singles. Includes a signed copy of The Holiday Murders, a welcome drink and a delectable two-course candlelit dinner. Places are limited.
