Byron Writers Festival: True Crime with Gideon Haigh

Delve into the murky underworld of true crime with intrepid journalists and authors Matthew Condon and Gideon Haigh. What drew Gideon to the disappearance of nineteen-year-old nurse on an ocean liner in 1949? And what revelations have followed in the decade since Matthew’s incendiary Three Crooked Kings? With Nell Schofield.

About Gideon's latest book, My Brother Jaz:

A profoundly moving memoir on grief and resilience

In January 2024, in a period of personal crisis, Gideon Haigh abruptly started writing the story of the night his seventeen-year-old brother Jasper was killed, finally facing how it had shaped the rest of his life. Seventy-two hours later he stopped. Dark, raw and revealing, My Brother Jaz is how it feels to lose someone, and yourself, even as the rest of the world turns, and you struggle to keep up.
