About Nothing But the Truth? - Old Swan Hotel

Crime fiction can be the perfect framework for exploring difficult themes like trauma, class, grief, and identity. Meet four authors whose work tackles the parts other genres cannot reach.

Dorothy Koomson’s The Quiet Girls is a dark, gritty thriller unafraid to ask the big questions. Murder and medicine are a deadly cocktail in Adam Kay’s razor-sharp A Particularly Nasty Case. Saima Mir’s powerful new thriller Deliverance is a bold exploration of women daring to challenge the patriarchy. Garry Disher’s Mischance Creek is a compelling critique of broken communities and small-town secrets. Journalist Matt Nixson will chair.
