Speakers: Jane Sullivan and Lucy Sussex

Melbourne has always had its underbelly of crime, inspiring crime fiction detectives from Mary Fortune and Fergus Hume to Peter Temple’s ‘Jack Irish’. Join Jane, whose latest novel Murder in Punch Lane, is a thriller inspired by real events and people in 1868 Melbourne, and Lucy, who in 2025 will publish Outrageous Fortunes, a co-written biography about crime-writer Mary Fortune and her criminal son George, in a conversation about the sins and secrets of the brash young 19th century goldfields city.

Presented by Rare Books Melbourne in partnership with The Melbourne Athenaeum Library

Saturday 20th July, 12-1pm
Level 1, 188 Collins Street Melbourne
