Penguin Noir is back with an evening of suspense, intrigue and criminally good conversation featuring some of Australia's most acclaimed crime writers alongside exciting new voices in the genre.

The night begins with Nicholas Timms, who will discuss his heart-pounding, suspenseful debut set in Byron Bay, 'The Lineup'.

A panel conversation will follow with Scott Westerfeld and Justine Larbalestier, authors of the action-packed gothic thriller 'The Mortons', and the beloved Candice Fox, whose latest novel 'Redbelly Crossing' was an immediate bestseller. The discussion will be moderated by the brilliant Darcy Tindale.

Bookings essential. Book online via TryBooking, ask in any library branch, or phone 4325 8460.

This event will be held at Gosford Regional Library in the tiered auditorium on level 1, which is accessible by stairs or lift.
