Michael Burge in conversation with Ryan Butta

Join Ryan Butta for the launch of two highly anticipated new novels by Michael Burge! Readers who can’t get enough authentic rural noir will delight in Dirt Trap, the sequel to the pioneering storytelling cycle Michael started with his acclaimed debut Tank Water. When a notorious gay-hate killer is found dead at the base of Kippen’s water towers, local journo James Brandt lands in a searing search for justice in a remote town intent on looking away from the truth. The second shot in Michael's double-barrelled book tour is The Watchnight, a bold reimagining of the Methodist settlers who colonised Australia’s renowned Jenolan Caves during the Frontier Wars, confronting a web of faith and death in a brutal landscape. Join two of Australia's keenest rural commentators for a night of untold stories, wild country, religious rapture, dangerous underworlds and callous killers.
