Dark Deeds Down Under 2

A positively criminal line-up featuring a star-filled southern constellation of antipodean crime writers. Come travel the criminal trails of two countries from Australia's dusty Outback to New Zealand's South Island glaciers, from ocean-carved coastlines and craggy mountains to sultry rainforests or Middle Earth valleys, and via sleepy towns to the seething underbellies of our cosmopolitan cities. This second volume of the bestselling crime and thriller anthology from Clan Destine Press showcases the depth of modern Australian and New Zealand crime writing. It features brand-new short stories from some of our brightest storytelling talents: international bestsellers, award winners, and fresh voices; and mysteries from some late-great legends of the genre. Volume 2 authors include: Emma Viskic, Malla Nunn, Jack Heath, Charity Norman, Nathan Blackwell, Michael Botur, Ben Hobson, Jean Bedford, Peter Corris, Robert Gott, Stephen Johnson, Jennifer Lane, Helen Fitzgerald, Peter Papathanasiou, and Dame Ngaio Marsh. The concept of Dark Deeds Down Under is to cross-pollinate stories, and characters, from authors with long-running series, with thrilling tales from newer writers known for series or standalone mysteries. Many of the contributors have been shortlisted for or have won a variety of awards including the Ned Kelly, the Davitt, the Ngaio Marsh and the Aurealis. The Commissioning Editor of the series is Craig Sisterson, founder of New Zealand's Ngaio Marsh Awards, international crime reviewer, and author of the non-fiction Southern Cross Crime.
