Event Details
Eli Cranor, Stephen Spotswood, and Olivia Worley bring the full spectrum of contemporary crime fiction to life, from the gritty fields of Southern football noir to the shadowed streets of New York and the psychological thrills that keep readers on edge. Each author shares their approach to suspense, character, and moral complexity, revealing how setting, obsession, and human ambition drive stories that grip audiences.
Moderated by Michael Strecker, New Orleans novelist and storyteller, the conversation explores the craft of building tension, the allure of detectives and antiheroes, and the ways modern crime fiction reflects both societal pressures and personal obsessions. Together, they illuminate why tales of danger, justice, and intrigue continue to captivate readers and redefine the genre.
