What Lies Beneath: The Crime Novel –– Peter Cotton & Richard Anderson at Better Read Than Dead

Whether composing crime fiction or true crime, we want to know what goes on in the heads of crime writers. In this new series, What Lies Beneath, we'll be exploring the inner workings of literature and going behind the scenes of the book writing process.

Joining us for our second event in the series are Peter Cotton, former political media advisor and reporter, and Richard Anderson, second-generation farmer from Northern NSW, who will be discussing their novels Dead Heat and Retribution.

Peter Cotton
Peter Cotton has been the media advisor to three federal cabinet ministers, worked as a foreign correspondent for the ABC, been a senior reporter on the ABC’s AMand PM programs, and had stories published in most major print outlets in Australia. Dead Heat is the second novel in the Darren Glass series, following Dead Cat Bounce.

Richard Anderson
Richard Anderson is a second-generation farmer from northern New South Wales. He has been running a beef-cattle farm for twenty-five years, but has also worked as a miner and had a stint on the local council.
Richard is the author of one previous novel, The Good Teacher. He lives with his wife, four dogs, and a new cat.
