Distinguished international and local writers working across the crime genre unpick the relationship between fact and fiction.

Miles Franklin Literary Award winner Shankari Chandran, whose newest novel is a gritty thriller set in Colombo, ten-time Walkley Award–winning investigative journalist Kate McClymont and international bestseller and Diamond Dagger Award winner Ian Rankin each have a lifetime of mysteries under their belt.

Join them to question the line between truth and fiction and interrogate the ethics of telling crime stories and exploring the search for justice. With host Matthew Condon.
