Shelley Burr’s Vanish

The Final Draft podcast is all about books, writing and literary culture. We're dedicated to exploring Australian writing, looking into the issues that drive our storytelling to discover more from the books you love. These are the stories that make us who we are. Shelley Burr is the bestselling author of Wake and Ripper. Her debut Wake won the UK Crime Writers' Association's Debut Dagger Award, the Australian Book Industry's Matt Richell Award for New Writer of the Year and the Australian Crime Writers Association's Ned Kelly Award for Best Debut Crime Fiction. Shelley’s joining us today with her new novel Vanish It’s virtually impossible to be a private investigator from prison but that’s not stopping Lane Holland. When the opportunity to do some real investigating arrives, Lane jumps at the opportunity, even if it could jeopardize his parole. The Karpathy farm is full of outsiders but even still Lane is on the fringes as pokes around the spate of missing persons that have moved through the farm over the years.  As Lane tries to figure out whether the organic, peace and love is for real or just a front, he must also contend with the possibility that someone knows his true purpose on the farm. That he might just be next person to vanish without a trace. ⁠Final Draft is produced and presented by Andrew Pople⁠ Want more great conversations with Australian authors? ⁠Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week⁠.
