When the Australian Mystery Writers’ Society invite Ernest Cunningham to their crime-writing festival aboard the Ghan, the famous train between Darwin and Adelaide, he’s hoping for some inspiration for his second book.

 

The program is a who’s who of crime writing royalty:

 

the debut writer (Ernest!)

the forensic science writer

the blockbuster writer

the legal thriller writer

the literary writer

the psychological suspense writer.

 

But when one of them is murdered, six authors quickly turn into five detectives. Together, they should know how to solve a crime. Or commit one…

He is the author of several books, including the international bestseller Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone which has sold in twenty-four territories around the world, been named as one of The Sunday Times's best crime novels of 2022, and will soon be adapted into a major HBO TV series.
