Geoffrey McGeachin

After an exciting career as a world-travelling photographer and photo-educator, Geoffrey settled in Sydney where he wrote this, his first novel.

Fat, Fifty and Fu*ked! was followed by three tongue-in-check spy novels featuring photographer/secret agent Alby Murdoch: D-E-D Dead, Sensitive New Age Spy, and Dead & Kicking.

In 2010 he wrote the first of the Charlie Berlin series, The Diggers Rest Hotel; followed by Blackwattle Creek and St Kilda Blues. The series, set in 1947, 1957 and 1967, earned him two prestigious Ned Kelly Awards for Best Australian Crime Fiction.
