Psychological thrillers are growing in popularity and Australian author Michael Robotham is one of the leading writers in this field.
On Saturday 17 August the River Read Noosaville will welcome the author to launch his latest novel Good Girl Bad Girl with readers who will have the chance to meet him and enjoy a two-course Italian lunch at 250 Grammi food and wine bar from 11.30am at 1/203 Gympie Terrace, Noosaville.
As a journalist and writer in America, Australia and Britain Michael has investigated notorious cases and worked with clinical and forensic psychologists as they helped police investigate complex, psychologically driven crimes.
Michael’s 2004 debut thriller, The Suspect, sold more than 1 million copies. It is the first of eight novels featuring clinical psychologist Joe O’Loughlin, who faces his own increasing battle with a potentially debilitating disease. Michael has also written four standalone thrillers including Life or Death which in 2015 won the UK’s prestigious Crime Writers’ Association Gold Dagger Award.
His latest novel begins six years ago, when Evie Cormac was discovered, filthy and half-starved, hiding in a secret room in the aftermath of a shocking crime. Now approaching adulthood, Evie is damaged, self-destructive and has never revealed her true identity. She also has a gift – she knows when someone is lying.
Tickets are $85 including a signed copy of Good Girl Bad Girl. Buy tickets from The River Read 3/203 Gympie Terrace Noosaville or phone 5473 0483.
