Two giants of Australian crime fiction, Garry Disher and Candice Fox, reveal the secrets to sustaining a series: characters who grow and surprise us, worlds that deepen, and tension that never lets up. Crime fiction thrives on character, place, and promise.

Hear how these authors keep readers gripped across multiple books. From researching cases and generating fresh ideas, to crafting communities that feel authentic and storylines that defy expectations, this conversation is a masterclass in long-form crime writing.

Garry Disher has created several enduring series, including the Wyatt, Peninsula Crimes, and Hirsch novels, and has published more than sixty books across multiple genres. He joins Candice Fox, the three-time Ned Kelly Award winner behind Hades, Eden and the Crimson Lake series (adapted for television), as well as author of seven New York Times bestsellers, co-written with James Patterson.
