    CRIME CLUB: "The Witness" by Fleur McDonald

    09/04/2026 | 30 mins.
    In our new episode of Crime Club, Victoria Carthew sits down with Fleur McDonald to discuss her brand-new book "The Witness". 

    At the age of five, Molly Walker was placed in protective custody after witnessing the murder of her mother, Constable Sammi Walker. Twenty years later, everyone assumes the threat has passed. Then Molly's adoptive parents are killed in a car accident, just after asking about reopening the investigation into Sammi's death. Coincidence or something more sinister? Detective Jack Higgins doesn't believe in coincidences. And as he and Detective Angie Sullivan look into the accident, it becomes clear that this was a deliberate act. From the blood-red soil of Kalgoorlie, long-buried lies continue to surface, while someone is becoming increasingly desperate to keep them hidden.

On the exclusive Deck Nine, CEO Irving Fairchild celebrates his 70th birthday. It's a family affair: he's about to make a big announcement about his successor, and everyone around the table is hoping they be the chosen one. But when the news comes, it's not what they think.

    In our new episode of Crime Club, Victoria Carthew sits down with J.P. Pomare to discuss his brand-new book "The Gambler" 
    PI Vince Reid is convinced he'll never work again. An explosive investigation has left him burned out and somewhat of a local celebrity. Strapped for cash and his anonymity dead in the water, he retreats to an old friend's farm to clear his head. At the farm, Reid is offered a case he can't refuse: Why did a respected local woman open fire at a political rally, killing a promising young university graduate? It's easy money, he's told. A sure thing. But as Reid delves further into the case, the stakes are higher than he imagined. There are invisible players pulling the strings. Will he walk away a winner or pay for the ultimate gamble with his life?
