True crime fans have the opportunity to learn about the writings of award-winning Australian author Mark Tedeschi when he visits our libraries.
Port Stephens Council Library Services manager Kris Abbott said the author’s visit is a huge win for local fans of the true crime genre.
“Author events are always a hit with our community, and we are delighted to be able to welcome Mark Tedeschi to Port Stephens to share his latest book with local audiences,” said Ms Abbott.
“When visiting in November, our community will have the chance to ask questions, hear a reading, and learn about the author’s most recent work,” she added.
Mark Tedeschi is an Australian lawyer, law professor, photographer and author who will present his latest novel ‘Missing, Presumed Dead: The double murder case that shocked Australia’, detailing the shocking details of the disappearance of Dorothy Davis and Kerry Whelan and the trial of Bruce Burrell, accused of murdering them.
Ms Abbott said Tedeschi’s hour-long author’s conference will provide a rare opportunity to learn more about a very complex case.
“This is the first case written by Tedeschi in which he has become involved professionally, as a criminal prosecutor.
“Most true crime fans don’t get a chance to hear detailed trial details unless they take the time to stream court proceedings online or read trial transcripts. A book like this, accompanied by a visit from the author himself, is a rare chance to learn about a case from someone who has intimate knowledge of it.
“I encourage all true crime enthusiasts to get their hands, eyes or ears on these new novels and earlier works by contacting one of our libraries, where they are available in a variety of formats, including audiobooks and e-books,” she said.
Reservations are essential for the Author’s Free Tour and can be made by contacting your preferred library.
