Sisters in Crime: Shafted: Women in Peril, Friday July 22 at 8 pm at the Rising Sun Hotel, 2 Raglan St, South Melbourne.
Two women lie at the bottom of abandoned mine shafts in rural Victoria in the latest books by Kimberley Starr (A Map of Night) and Margaret Hickey (Stone Town), amazing but true).
In her debut novel, The Unbelieved, Vikki Petraitis explores a spate of sexual attacks on women in the small town of Deception Bay that meet with a wall of silence and inaction by the police.
The authors will examine why and how women are too often shafted with Moraig Kisler, Sisters in Crime’s review editor. Dinner from 6.30pm.
$20 non-members; $15 concession; $12 Sisters in Crime and Writers Victoria members, $10 under 19. Men – or brothers-in-law – welcome. Sun Bookshop stall: members receive a 10 per cent discount. Bookings: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/shafted-women-in-peril-tickets-353599504637
