This episode is a presentation from the Bad Sydney Crime Writers Festival 2021, with an introduction by Andy Muir and Suzanne Leal.

"Close Encounters with a Murderer"

How does having a friend murdered and knowing the murderer affect you? One of Australia’s best-known novelists, Robert Drewe, talks to Nicole Abadee about his personal experiences with serial killer Eric Cooke and his family, in suburban Perth, in the early 1960s.
