We’re thrilled to announce that Penguin Noir is coming to Adelaide, and we are proud to be hosting four stellar crime writers in one place at the Coventry Library, Stirling.

There'll be goodies, a glass of SC Pannell wine with your ticket, and a sneak peek at the hottest thrillers for 2025. Please join us at 7pm on Wednesday March 26 at the Coventry Library, Stirling for late summer noir.
