Talking Aussie Books with Chris Hammer

Chris Hammer, former journalist and foreign correspondent, is a highly acclaimed, award-winning international bestselling author of the thrilling trilogy - 'Scrublands', 'Silver' and 'Trust'. This year, Chris has offered up a new stand alone novel. Called 'Treasure & Dirt' (Allen & Unwin), this novel is a sensational, suspense-filled, turbulent read that centres on a murder investigation in the fictional town of Finnegan's Gap on the NSW/Queensland border. With multiple story lines and themes, a cast of characters from the quirky to the fanatical and down-right dangerous, 'Treasure & Dirt' plunges us into a complex world where nothing is as it seems and secrets can't stay buried forever. Chris and I had a fabulous chat about this book a little while ago for the podcast.
