S T R A N G E E D I T I O N S ~ Book Club with David Whish-Wilson

STRANGE EDITIONS 9.0

Our much-loved book club, Strange Editions is finishing up for the season this October as we sit down for another night to discuss the next fantastic book on our lineup of awesome Aussie Fiction.

This session will see Freo local David Whish-Wilson come down to Strange Company to chat with us and discuss his brand new maritime thriller, O’Keefe, which is set here in town down on the wharf!

Once everyone is settled and comfortable with a wine (or something equally delicious) in hand, we will have a bit of a live reading to gain some deeper insight into the characters. Following the reading we will host an interview and a little Q&A about the book so save your queries!

The novel will be available at the event through New Edition and some copies of it will also be for sale over the bar in the lead-up to the session. Our friendly staff will be more than happy to have a chat with you about the text and give you any further info about the upcoming evening.

We look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday the 28th of October to meet the Author, and get the inside scoop on how the characters in this thriller came about.

Join us and enjoy some quality certified organic wine from our fabulous friends down in Wilyabrup ~ the team at Rosily Vineyard.

A special thanks must go to everyone at Fremantle Press and to the crew at New Edition who have been instrumental in putting this series together!

About the book:

Follow Paul Cutler on his next adventure as he fights the cocaine gold rush.

Assuming his new identity as Paul O’Keefe, Paul is tasked with finding the supplier of a surge of Mexican cartel meth flooding Australian streets. Assigned to infiltrate a newly appointed security company at Fremantle Port, he discovers a clandestine world of off-the-books operations, and a business front that goes far beyond mere security.

There’s a dangerous game afoot for who gets control of the port’s smuggling operations, and O’Keefe is caught in the crossfire.

A pulse-pounding thriller that takes a hard look at the Australian ‘cocaine gold rush’, where maritime crime meets the ruthless currents of the underworld.
