Welcome to unforgettable fiction from your favourite authors, engrossing true crime stories, meet new writers you’ll hear more about, ponder moral dilemmas – would you put a murderer to death?

Find out more about bush justice, crimes of religion, bearing witness for Indigenous people, what it feels like to flee for your life. Hear stories of true crime, crooked cops, find out what makes juries tick and exactly what happens when a dead body is discovered.

Walk the crime talk and put names to crime sites in Surry Hills, Kings Cross and the Rocks.

Aspiring to join your writing heroes? Take part in a writing workshop. Your manuscript is ready? Pitch it to top publishers and agents.

The Danger awards evening features guest of honour Michael Robotham talking about his 20 years in publishing. He hands out the award for best fiction. Who will win? Plus there’s an award for best debut, best true crime and the People’s choice award which you can vote for.
