ABOUT THIS SESSION

Crime novels do more than entertain. They hold a mirror up to society. In this conversation, authors explore how crime fiction reflects social realities, exposes injustice, and engages with the cultural moment it’s written in. They discuss why they choose crime as a lens for storytelling and what they hope readers take away beyond the final reveal.
