The criminal enterprises of Aussie writers abroad

Candice Fox, Michael Robotham, Michael Brissenden and Roger Simpson

Why do our leading crime writers set their books outside Australia? Is it cultural cringe? Do they just want a research trip? What are the difficulties and the rewards? How do they deal with the different cultures and idioms? Will they ever come home again? Tim Ayliffe investigates with Candice Fox, Michael Robotham, Michael Brissenden and Roger Simpson whose latest books are set in the US and the UK.
