ABOUT THIS SESSION

Wide-open spaces can be just as dangerous as dark alleys. In this panel, authors discuss why they set their mysteries in the great outdoors, drawing inspiration from their hometowns, landscapes, and natural environments. They explore how wilderness settings heighten suspense, shape character choices, and turn nature itself into an active force in the story.
