Prize Catch - launch of a thriller set amongst Tasmania’s salmon farms.
Join Alan for the launch of Prize Catch, his very Tasmanian new crime novel.
When Roz Chen’s wife, Niamh, is killed in a hit-and-run on a lonely Tasmanian road, the grieving widow begins to wonder if Niamh’s death was an accident after all. Meanwhile, SAS veteran Sam Willard is hoping for a fresh start with a job at a salmon farm. But as allegations of old war crimes surface and Sam is ‘promoted’ as a special operative against anti-salmon farm activists, he and Roz form an unlikely alliance.
Forced to retreat into the unforgiving Tasmanian wilderness, Roz and Sam find themselves scrambling for the truth with murderous thugs on their trail.
Alan Carter was born in Sunderland, UK. He immigrated to Australia in 1991 and now lives in splendid semi-rural semi-isolation south of Hobart, Tasmania. In his spare time he follows the black line up and down the local swimming pool, or drags on his wetsuit and braves the icy waters of the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, where his latest book, Prize Catch, is set. He is the author of the Fremantle-set DS Cato Kwong series, including Prime Cut (winner of the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction); and the New Zealand-set Marlborough Man and Doom Creek, which won the Ngaio Marsh Award for Best Crime Novel.
Peter George is one of Australia’s most experienced and respected international correspondents with a treasure trove of extraordinary stories to tell. Over a career that spans four decades, Peter has lived and worked in more than one hundred countries covering wars, famines, political upheavals, revolutions and many of the significant events of our times.

Flotilla
The expansion of industrial aquaculture farms in the waters in the Channel and around Tasmania is shocking and deeply concerning for the future of our fisheries and the health of our marine environment.
These waters belong to the people of Tasmania & Australia - they are ours. They belong to First Tasmanians, beach goers, rec fishers, native fishers, kayakers, shackies, sailors - us, the people of Tasmania. They are not owned by the multinationals that now run Tassal, Huon and Petuna.
It’s time to take our waters back! Can you help?
If you have a surfboard, a paddle board, a kayak, a dinghy, a sailboat or a fishing boat please meet us at 9:30am either on the sand, or on water @Coningham Beach.
If you can't be there - you can still help us by -
1) Recording a 30 seconds video on your phone saying why you support the flotilla and why you don't eat salmon anymore.
OR
2) Send a photo with a quote saying why you support the Flotilla and why you don't eat or buy salmon anymore.
