Candice Fox is one of Australia’s most successful crime writers. Her debut novel Hades (2014) won the Ned Kelly Award for Best First Fiction, and its sequel Eden won the same award the following year, making Fox one of only a handful of authors to win back-to-back Ned Kelly Awards.

She went on to write the Crimson Lake trilogy, set in tropical Far North Queensland, where an accused man and a convicted killer team up as private investigators. Her collaboration with James Patterson on the Detective Harriet Blue series and the 2 Sisters Detective Agency books brought her work to a global audience.

Fox’s standalone thrillers, including The Inn, The Chase, and Devil’s Kitchen, have continued to build her reputation for tightly plotted crime fiction with morally complex characters. Her books are known for their Australian settings, dark humor, and willingness to put flawed, sometimes unlikable protagonists at the center of the story.
