Thriller Author On His Way To Whitsundays

One of the country’s top crime writers will make his way to the Whitsundays as part of a national tour.

Bestselling novelist and ex-journalist Chris Hammer will be the guest of honour at Proserpine, Cannonvale, and Bowen libraries on October 11 for Author Talks on his latest crime novel, The Tilt.

Hammer, a renowned journalist of 30 years, stepped into the creative sphere with a series of bestselling crime novels: The Martin Scarsden series.

In free events across the region’s libraries, Hammer will sit down with journalists from the region – including Whitsunday Life journalist Declan Durrant – to answer questions and sign copies of his novels.

Attendees will also be able to purchase limited copies of Chris’ newest novel.

In The Tilt, to be published October 5, a swirling sequence of events revolving around the Murray River lead newly minted homicide detective Nell Buchanan down a path of familial intrigue.

A man runs for his life in a forest, a woman plans sabotage, a body is unearthed, and Buchanan, who returns to her hometown, annoyed at being assigned a decades-old murder, begins to question how well she truly knows those closest to her.

Gripping and atmospheric, The Tilt is a stunning, multi-layered novel that serves as a light sequel to Hammer’s novel Treasure and Dirt.

Hammer will visit the three libraries for an hour respectively, with 25 minutes allocated to in conversation with a journalist, then roughly thirty minutes of question time.
