Journeying to Blackheath this June, BAD returns with a criminally perfect addition to its 2026 lineup. Featuring a program packed with bestselling crime writers such as Jane Caro, Tara Moss, and Mark Tedeschi (amongst others)–this is a day you won't want to miss.

Authors Jane Caro and Catherine Jinks kick the day off, discussing writing violence against women. This is followed by a conversation concerning all things Blue Mountains crime with Mark Tedeschi and Michael Duffy. After lunch, make sure to catch the interview with Tara Moss and Ava Barry, followed by an in-conversation on the topic of corruption in crime with Michael Duffy and Gary Sturgess.

Attending sleuths can then head to an evening of trivia, with signed books and wine (courtesy of Tulloch Wines) up for grabs!
