Stars & Stripes & Smalltown Slayings: Rod Reynolds, Vaseem Khan,
Saturday 13th September 2025
Overview
In the world of crime fiction, smalltown murder is as American as apple pie. Meet three authors from over here knocking it out of the park over there.
A double homicide is the start of a murderous rampage in Rod Reynolds’ breathtaking slice of American Noir, Shatter Creek. The fractured mind of The Girl in Cell A holds the key to the smalltown murder that shocked America in Vaseem Khan’s complex and chilling new thriller. Jackknife, Louisiana is a town of secrets, betrayal, menace and murder in Anna Bailey’s brutally bewitching novel Our Last Wild Days.
This event will be chaired by journalist and reviewer Craig Sisterson.
