True life thriller of the story of the Sea Shepherd ship the ‘Bob Barker’, braving arctic seas, storms and the longest sea chase ever in their pursuit of pirate vessels poaching the Patagonian Toothfish.
Kjetil and Eskil took leave from their job as Norwegian journalists and pursued the true owners of the pirate ship through multiple countries of registration and name changes by sifting through thousands of online records and logs while the crew and captain Peter Hammarstedt of the Bob Barker played a waiting game that had a most unexpected ending. Amazing achievement and a great read.
CONGRATULATIONS to Sulari Gentill winner of this year’s Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction!!
This week I am thrilled to post Sulari Gentill with her beautifully written crime novel ‘ Crossing the Lines’. The Ned Kelly Awards are Australia’s top awards for Crime Fiction and are held during the Melbourne Writers festival week.
Here is Sulari reading from her book ‘Crossing the Lines’ followed by a short interview which was recorded at this years Bellingen Writers Festival.
This week’s podcast theme is Crime – ‘Devour‘ deals with the imagined terrifying consequences of climate change and arctic exploration and big business skulduggery, ‘The Secrets she Keeps‘ is a complete contrast as we enter the twisted internal world of a psychotic stalker. In this case, a pregnant woman!
Mark Tedeschi hears many tragic but also fascinating stories in his other life as a top Queen’s Counsel.
It’s not surprising he writes books based on real cases – here he reads from ‘Kidnapped’ and then talks about this terrible but true crime from Australia’s past.
