About this Event
About the Author:
Dave Warner is an author, musician and screenwriter. He has written nine novels and six non-fiction books. His first novel, City of Light, won the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award for Fiction, and Before it Breaks (2015) the Ned Kelly Award for best Australian crime fiction. His novel Clear to the Horizon features the lead characters from both these books. His most recent crime novels are River of Salt and Over My Dead Body.
Dave Warner first came to national prominence with his gold album Mug’s Game, and his band Dave Warner’s from the Suburbs. In 2017 he released his tenth album, When. He has been named a Western Australian State Living Treasure and has been inducted into the WAMi Rock’n’Roll of Renown.
In the early 1980s Dave gave up a full-time music career to diversify into other areas of creative arts and Dave is now recognised as one of Australia’s foremost crime fiction authors.
About the Book:
A violent death by crucifixion near a remote north-west station has Detective Inspector Dan Clement and his Broome police officers disturbed and baffled. Other local incidents – the theft of explosives from a Halls Creek mine site, social justice protests at an abattoir, a break-in at a child-health care clinic – seem mundane by comparison. But as Clement starts to make troubling connections between each crime, he finds himself caught in a terrifying race. In a landmass larger than Western Europe, he must identify and protect an unknown target before it is blown to bits by an invisible enemy.
This is the sixth novel by Warner to be published by Fremantle Press, and it is the third book in the Dan Clement series.
Praise for Warner:
‘Warner’s tone is laid-back and laconic, but with sentences as snappy as a nutcracker.’ Books + Publishing
‘Gripping.’ Herald Sun
‘Award-winning author Warner balances a layered plot with dry humour and colourful descriptions of places and people. The result is sophisticated crime fiction with a WA flavour.’ Sunday Times
