Future Broadcasts
10 September
Best-selling British crime writer Simon Kernick has been described as "Britain's most exciting new thriller writer". His debut novel was The Business of Dying (2002), and his ninth and latest thriller, The Last 10 Seconds, came out in August.
His books centre on the murky underbelly of London, a world of drug lords, hit men, bent cops, pimps and prostitutes.
He draws both on his own personal experiences and does extensive research, speaking with members of the UK's anti crime organisations such as the Special Branch, the Anti-Terrorist Branch and the Serious and Organised Crime Agency.
Kernick is visiting New Zealand as part of the Christchurch Writer's Festival.
