Bathurst Library manager Patou Clerc said this author talk is a must for local crime fiction fans.

"Chris Hammer has had huge success at both the national and international level with his Australian crime fiction novels," she said.

"His debut novel Scrublands came at the pinnacle of a rise in Australian noir fiction, which has also seen the success of many other Australian authors on the international scene.

"The Bathurst stop on the author's book tour is a wonderful opportunity for Bathurst readers to meet such a high-profile author."

Jenny Barry will lead the in-conversation style event on Monday, October 31 at 6pm, bringing her enthusiasm and strong knowledge of literature to the evening.
