Please note: This is an online event.

Journalist Katherine Firkin brings real-life experience to her debut novel. A gritty thriller set in inner-city Melbourne, Sticks and Stones is inspired by the countless criminal trials Firkin covered as a crime and court reporter.

Firkin will be joined by Georgia Love to discuss the novel, and the true crime cases that shaped it – including the unbelievably graphic details that often went unreported outside of the court room.
