Win a copy of Nemesis
Echo Publishing is generously donating twenty copies of Patricia Wolf’s fourth gripping instalment in her bestselling DS Walker series. Walker is on assignment for the Australian Federal Police, and it couldn’t be more personal. This is his last chance to take down Stefan Markovich – leader of the Vandals outlaw motorcycle gang – the man who has managed to evade justice ever since Walker uncovered his drug operation in Australia’s remote interior.

For Murder Monday, Sisters in Crime’s Jacq Ellem spoke to award-winning author Kayte Nunn, who lives in the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales. Kayte is the author of seven previous novels, including two contemporary love stories and four works of historical fiction.
Luckily for us, Kayte has turned to crime – firstly with The Only Child, a contemporary-historical crime mystery, and The Palazzo, which is just out with Hachette Australia.
