  QBD’s host Victoria Carthew chats with crime thriller fiction author John McMahon about his latest novel, “Head Cases”.Gardner Camden is a puzzle and riddle enthusiast, which makes him the perfect fit for Patterns and Recognitions (PAR) unit of the FBI, a team of five brilliant but misfit agents who are too talented, too extraordinary to fire from the Bureau. When a serial killer starts targeting other serial killers from Gardner’s previous cases, and seems to be one step ahead of the FBI at every turn, only the PAR team has a chance of stopping him before it’s too late.Purchase your copy of “Head Cases” from your local QBD Books store or online today: https://www.qbd.com.au/head-cases/john-mcmahon/9781460766255/Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia

• Season 5, Episode 4: “Meadow’s Law” by Quentin McDermott

  Join host Victoria Carthew as she interviews award-winning investigative journalist Quentin McDermott about his latest book, “Meadow’s Law”.“Meadow’s Law” is a gripping and meticulously researched account of one of Australia’s most infamous criminal cases. In 2003, Kathleen Folbigg was found guilty of smothering her four young children to death, one by one. Medical experts told her trial they had never come across a family like hers, where three or more infants had died from natural causes. Extracts from diaries she had written were judged to be virtual admissions of guilt, and Folbigg was sentences to 40 years in jail. But did she do it? Quentin McDermott’s groundbreaking work with ABC’s Australian Story helped trigger a push by scientists to uncover the genetic cause of two of the children’s deaths. This is the story of how a dedicated team of lawyers, friends and supporters fought to achieve Kathleen’s eventual pardon, release and acquittal after 20 years behind bars.Order “Meadow’s Law” from your local QBD Books store or online today: https://www.qbd.com.au/meadows-law/quentin-mcdermott/9780733342912/ Follow along with QBD Books here: QBD Books on Facebook: www.facebook.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on Instagram: www.instagram.com/qbdbooks QBD Books on TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@qbdbooksaustralia
