About the book:
A taut crime thriller about a city on edge, a killer playing games, and the two women determined to bring him down.

Melbourne is gripped by fear after a backpacker's body is found with a cryptic note, and two more women vanish without trace. When photographs begin to arrive in the inboxes of the media and police, it's clear the killer isn't hiding - they are performing.

Journalist Oli Groves, founder of a fledgling digital news site, knows the story could make or break her. Rookie detective Penelope Kibbs, still trying to prove herself, is desperate to stop the violence before more women are lost. But they soon realise the danger runs deeper than one killer - and closer than they want to believe.

With Click, Sarah Bailey proves herself a master of modern crime fiction, blending relentless suspense with sharp insight into obsession, corruption and survival.
Tickets are free and bookings are essential.
