First Sisters in Crime Event for 2010 - From Cold Justice to Kiss of Death

8pm Friday February 5: From Cold Justice to The Kiss of Death… Welcome to 2010!
Jacqui Horwood interrogates two leading crime writers with books just out:

**Katherine Howell: Cold Justice (Pan MacMillan) “races like a speeding ambulance, delivering so many surprises and thrills that you'll scarcely have time to breathe”, according to US bestselling author Tess Gerritsen.

The third in Detective Ella Marconi series, Cold Justice involves an 18 year old unsolved murder, now reopened due to political pressure. The more Ella digs into the past, the more the buried secrets and lies are brought to light. Can she find the killer before more people are hurt?

Katherine Howell is a former ambulance officer and now lives in Queensland where she’s working on her fourth novel featuring Detective Ella Marconi. She won Sisters in Crime’s Davitt (Adult Fiction) Award in 2007 for Frantic and the Davitt (Readers’ Choice) Award in 2009 for The Darkest Hour. More info: http://www.katherinehowell.com/

**PD Martin: Kiss of Death (Pan MacMillan) finds Australian FBI profiler Sophie Anderson is on a strange new case. The victim is found dead in a state park with two puncture wounds on her neck. There is no blood on the scene, but she looks to have been drained. A straightforward murder investigation or the result of a ritual performed by LA's secretive population of "vampires"?

Kiss of Death is the fourth in the series described by the Sydney Morning Herald as ” The Silence of the Lambs meets Medium, with a passing nod to Cornwell." Trailer: http://www.pdmartin.com.au/

PD Martin lives in Melbourne and developed a passion for crime fiction and storytelling at an early age. She has a Bachelor of Behavioural Sciences (with majors in psychology and criminology) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Writing (creative writing).
