Chris Hammer is a leading Australian crime fiction novelist, author of the internationally bestselling Martin Scarsden series: Scrublands, Silver and Trust. Join us for this in conversation event as Chris discusses his latest thriller, The Valley, with Peter from the Book Cow at Kingston.

When generations collide.....

It starts as a routine homicide investigation: Detective Nell Buchanan is on the trail of a killer. The investigation takes her to a secluded mountain village with her partner Ivan Lucic. Once in The Valley, Nell is startled to discover the victim is a blood relative – and that she has a deep connection to a community she has never previously visited. How is the murder connected to one of the country’s most notorious robberies, and to the gold mine lying dormant on the cliffs above the community? How have the events of thirty years ago stayed secret for so long, yet had such a powerful and far-reaching impact on the present day? This is Nell’s most emotionally fraught investigation yet.

Book sales and signing will be available at the event.
