Meet an Author: Michael Robotham

Inspired by the first manuscript he ever wrote, this is a powerful story of love, loss, heartbreak and murder set in a small Australian town.

After serving a twelve-year prison sentence, Arlo Hackett returns to the small town of Yulara, where he finds a community unwilling to forgive. As hostility and memories resurface, Arlo is forced to confront the events that destroyed his family and uncover the truth about a crime that changed everything. The truth will shock you, surprise you, and break your heart.

Michael Robotham is a seven-time consecutive Australian No.1 bestseller whose books have sold more than 8 million copies worldwide. Before becoming a novelist, he worked as a feature writer and investigative reporter in Britain, Australia and America, working with clinical and forensic psychologists on complex, psychologically driven crimes. These experiences helped shape the psychological depth and authenticity for which his novels are renowned.

In conversation, Michael will discuss the inspiration behind Tell Me Something True, why he chose to set the novel in Australia, and the writing journey that led from his first manuscript to this release. Copies of the book will be available for purchase from Book Face Pacific Fair, and Michael will sign books following the talk.
