The City of Perth Library, UWA Institute of Advanced Studies and Boffins Books present a different sort of book launch – Clear to the Horizon – with author, musician and screenwriter, Dave Warner. Accompanied by a guitarist, Dave will entertain us with songs, poems and tales about love, his early life in Bicton and writing crime fiction.
Can't make it? We'll happily have a copy of Dave Warner's Clear to the Horizon signed for you. Simply contact us via phone, email, online or visit us in-store, and we'll take care of the rest.
Set in WA in 1999 and 2000, Clear to the Horizon tells the story of the mysterious disappearance of three young women outside the Autostrada nightclub in the Perth suburb of Claremont. The knockabout Snowy Lane (City of Light) is hired as a private investigator, but neither he nor the cops can find the abductor.
Dave Warner is an author, musician and screenwriter. His first novel City of Light (1995) won the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award for fiction, and Before it Breaks (2015) won the Ned Kelly Award for best Australian crime fiction. Once nominated by Bob Dylan as his favourite Australian music artist, Dave Warner originally came to national prominence with his gold album Mug’s Game, and his band Dave Warner's From the Suburbs. In 2017 he released his tenth album When. He has been named a Western Australian State Living Treasure and has been inducted into the WAMi Rock’n’Roll of Renown.
