A special episode! Anna chats with author Chris Hammer about his new crime novel THE VALLEY, the fourth in the Nell Buchanan and Ivan Lucic series.

Chris' award-winning debut SCRUBLANDS was an instant bestseller and is now a TV series. THE VALLEY is his seventh novel and follows detectives Nell and Ivan as they investigate a murder in rural Australia and the victim's connections with logging, politics and an abandoned gold mine. We discuss why Chris has been compared to Shakespeare and how the Australian landscape inspires his stories.

Chris recommends books by Peter Temple and the TV show Slow Horses based on the books by Mick Herron.
