Jarad Henry is the next Summer Read author, blogging from 11 – 15 December.
Jarad has worked in the criminal justice system for more than ten years, and is currently a strategic advisor for Victoria Police. He has a degree in criminology. His first novel was shortlisted for the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards, and for the Ned Kelly Awards Best First Crime Novel.
His book Blood Sunset is one of the books on the Summer Read shortlist.
Blood Sunset tells the story of Melbourne in the grip heat wave, when a teenager is found dead in St Kilda with a syringe in his arm. As the blood sunset washes the streets of Melbourne, Detective McCauley discovers the boy’s death is not simply an isolated overdose but a link in a dark network of drugs, child abuse and paedophilia.
As part of the free Summer Read events across Victoria, Jarad will be appearing at:

What Jarad says about summer reading
“A good summer read goes likes this… Kicking back on the beach house sun deck, watching the ocean, a tumbler full of crushed ice, vodka and fresh lime, and Australia’s newest crime thriller in my hands… no better way to wile away an afternoon.”
