Author to launch latest novel at two library events

Award-winning writer and playwright Margaret Hickey is headed back to Glenelg Libraries to discuss the release of her latest crime novel Broken Bay.

Following on from the bestselling Cutters End and Stone Town, which was selected as one of Glenelg Libraries’ Great Summer Reads, Broken Bay again features Detective Mark Ariti, who has managed to go on holiday at precisely the wrong time and precisely the wrong place.

Broken Bay, a small fishing town on South Australia’s Limestone Coast, has become the scene of a tragedy. Renowned cave-diver Mya Rennik has drowned while exploring a sinkhole on the land of wealthy farmer Frank Doyle.

As the press descends, Mark’s boss orders him to stay put and assist the police operation. But when they retrieve Mya’s body, a whole new mystery is opened up around the disappearance of a young local woman twenty years before . . .

Originally from Beechworth, Victoria, Margaret Hickey holds a PhD in Creative Writing and works as a senior English teacher. Her first crime fiction novel, Cutters End, won the 2022 Danger Prize and was shortlisted for the 2022 Ned Kelly Awards in the Best Debut Crime Fiction category.
