О премии

Премия Неда Келли (Ned Kelly Award) - ведущая австралийская литературная награда за лучшие произведения и выдающиеся достижения в детективном жанре.

Учреждена в 1995 году. Изначально вручалась в двух номинациях: лучший роман и лучший дебют. С тех пор премия приобрела значительный статус и расширила перечень номинаций. Вручается с 1996 года Ассоциацией австралийских писателей детективного жанра (Crime Writers' Association of Australian) ежегодно.

В народе награды ласково называют "Neddies".

Детективный жанр уже давно был популярен в Австралии, но в начале 1990-х годов существенно активизировалось написание новых произведений. Для поддержания интереса к детективной литературе было принято решение об учреждении премии.
Когда дело дошло до выбора имени, связь с самым печально известным злодеем нации оказалась очевидной. Награду было решено назвать именем Неда Келли (1854-1880) - австралийского разбойника, известного дерзкими ограблениями банков и убийствами полицейских. Предания и баллады о подвигах Неда Келли, где он предстаёт как «благородный разбойник», появились ещё при его жизни и стали неотъемлемой частью австралийского фольклора. Десятилетиями в стране не прекращались споры: часть австралийцев считает его безжалостным убийцей, часть — символом сопротивления колониальным властям и воплощением национального характера.

Благодаря поддержке членов Ассоциации австралийских писателей детективного жанра (ACWA), щедрости различных издателей, грантам, полученным от Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) и крупному спонсорскому соглашению с Booktopia, премия Неда Келли стала изюминкой австралийского издательского и литературного календаря, продвигая самое лучшее преступление, которое может предложить эта страна.

Darling Girls
Sally Hepworth 3.8
SISTERS, SECRETS, LOVE, AND MURDER... Sally Hepworth’s new novel has it all.

For as long as they can remember, Jessica, Norah, and Alicia have been told how lucky they are. As young girls they were rescued from family tragedies and raised by a loving foster mother, Miss Fairchild, on an idyllic farming estate and given an elusive second chance at a happy family life.

But their childhood wasn’t the fairy tale everyone thinks it was. Miss Fairchild had rules. Miss Fairchild could be unpredictable. And Miss Fairchild was never, ever to be crossed. In a moment of desperation, the three broke away from Miss Fairchild and thought they were free. Even though they never saw her again, she was always somewhere in the shadows of their minds. When a body is discovered under the home they grew up in, the foster sisters find themselves thrust into the spotlight as key witnesses. Or are they prime suspects?

A thrilling page-turner of sisterhood, secrets, love, and murder by New York Times bestselling author Sally Hepworth.

Murder in the Pacific: Ifira Point
Matt Francis 0.0
Esther Paul is 12 years old. She is reported missing on Vanuatu local radio.

Two days later her body is found floating in the sea off Ifira Point in Vanuatu. Limited forensics means Sergeant George Long and Constable Jayline Oli do not know if they are investigating a murder or accident. A head wound would suggest Esther was murdered.

Who would want to kill a young school girl? What secrets is she hiding?

Given the precarious state of the Vanuatu Police Force, George and Jayline have their work cut out, being transported in Port Vila's most decrepit and unsafe taxi van driven by Jayline's aspiring boyfriend. George's own unrequited love for a Vanuatu radio newsreader also impacts the investigation.

From Mele Beach at one end of Port Vila to Pango at the other, George and Jayline are challenged by Vanuatu’s broken roads, empty restaurants, confusing cultural norms as well as the extravagances and corruption of foreign aid as they attempt to solve the mysterious death.

Matt Francis' debut novel is a tour de force both in its vivid descriptions of warts-and-all Vanuatu and its ability to suck the reader into the frustrating investigation of its likeable detective. A thoroughly enjoyable read. Colin Cotterill, best-selling crime fiction author.

I was really intrigued because the place setting is an integral "character" of the book. A great read. Emily Webb, best-selling true crime author and podcaster.

I finished reading Ifira Point and was sorry to come to the end of it. I found myself thinking “Please don’t end yet.” Dr Elizabeth Braithwaite, literary scholar

Crossing the Line: The Explosive Inside Story Behind the Headlines
Nick McKenzie 0.0
War is brutal—but some lines should never be crossed. In mid-2017 whispers of executions and cover-ups within Australia's most secretive and elite military unit, the SAS, reached Walkley Award-winning journalist Nick McKenzie. He and Chris Masters began an investigation that would not only reveal shocking truths about Ben Roberts-Smith VC but also plunge the reporters into the defamation trial of the century.

For five years McKenzie led the investigation, waging an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged. His fight to reveal the real face of Australia's most famous and revered SAS soldier and examine evidence of bullying, intimidation, war crimes, and murder would take him across Australia and to Afghanistan. As he unearthed the secrets Ben Roberts-Smith had thought he'd long ago buried, McKenzie had to deal with death threats, powerful forces intent on destroying his career, and attempts to silence brave SAS soldiers, who had witnessed their famous comrade commit unspeakable acts.

McKenzie would break the stories that proved the man idolised by the public, politicians, media, and leading business leaders was a myth. His efforts would help deliver justice to Roberts-Smith's victims and their families.

Wrong time. Wrong place. Wrong man.

Alex lives a comfortable life with his wife Beth in the leafy suburb of Silver Vale. Fine, so he’s not the most sociable guy on the street, he prefers to keep himself to himself, but he’s a good husband and an easy-going neighbour.

That’s until Beth announces the creation of a nature trail on a local site that’s been disused for decades and suddenly Alex is a changed man. Now he’s always watching. Questioning. Struggling to hide his dread . . .

As the landscapers get to work, a secret threatens to surface from years ago, back in Alex’s twenties when he got entangled with a seductive young woman called Marina, who threw both their lives into turmoil.

And who sparked a police hunt for a murder suspect that was never quite what it seemed. It still isn’t.

No one else could have done it. Could they?
