Flex was joined recently by Margaret Hickey to talk about the second Mark Ariti novel, 'Stone Town', and the recent Ned Kelly nomination for the previous entry in the series, 'Cutters End'. Mark Ariti's journeys through small-town crime often bring him face to face with harrowing fear and the many unknowns lurking in the underbelly of rural Australia. We spoke with Marg about how fear divides and unites us, how the most important things are often the most understated, and the harrowing cry of Australia's endangered Barking Owls.
