If you crave fast-paced, page-turning crime thrillers, Richard Evans’ novels on contemporary political themes will exceed your expectations and satisfy your desire for a rewarding read.
Drawing from his service as a federal politician in the Australian national parliament, Richard brings unparalleled authenticity to his work. Through his well-researched books, he examines contemporary societal issues and, using his insider experience, exposes the dark arts of politics including the tribalism, bullying, manipulation of power, backstabbing, and egos.
Themes he has written about include parliamentary corruption, integrity, equity and inclusion, Aboriginal sovereignty, euthanasia, capital punishment, and the manipulation of election campaigns. Thrillers with a political theme are a unique genre, and when crime and suspense is layered into the story readers ask – is it true?
Richard lives in Airlie Beach, the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands where he continues to write gripping tales of political intrigue and suspense.
