'This crime and thriller anthology, from Clan Destine Press, showcases the breadth and depth of modern Australian and New Zealand crime writing in a collection of brand-new short stories from some of our brightest storytelling talents: international bestsellers, award winners, and fresh voices.
'Dark Deeds Down Under features some of crime fiction's most beloved 'characters', including Garry Disher's Hirsch, Kerry Greenwood's Corinna Chapman, Vanda Symon's Sam Shephard,
'Sulari Gentill's Rowly Sinclair, and Shane Maloney's first Murray Whelan tale in 15 years.

'Many of the contributors have been shortlisted for or have won a variety of awards including the Ned Kelly, the Davitt, the Ngaio Marsh and the Aurealis.
'The Commissioning Editor of the series is Craig Sisterson, founder of New Zealand's Ngaio Marsh Awards, international crime reviewer, and author of the non-fiction Southern Cross Crime.' (Publication summary)
