Crime writer Mark Brandi on the ‘incredibly painful’ experience that changed his life
In this episode, we talk to Mark Brandi. The renowned crime novelist writes about outsiders: heroin addicts, former prisoners and child victims of poverty and violence – and joins us to chat about his new book, Eden, out on June 25. We take a look at Brandi's family background, including the racist, small-town harassment of his father – as well Brandi' earlier career in corrective services – both of which shed light on why he's drawn to people on the margins. Hosting this conversation about everything from growing up inside a country pub to working in the criminal justice system – and how good and bad luck changed Brandi’s life – is freelance writer Nicole Abadee.
