“…a hypnotic journey into otherness, a wild detective story amid cannibals and headhunters. But it’s also … an exploration into secrecy and the unknowable yearnings of the heart. A thrilling, one-of-a-kind tale – I couldn’t stop reading.” – Andrew McCarthy.

The mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller has kept the world, and even Michael’s powerful, influential family, guessing for years. Join Carl Hoffman’s journey in an evening of conversation and images as he uncovers the startling new evidence that finally reveals the full, astonishing story.

Hoffman is the acclaimed author of Savage Harvest, which debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and was named by Amazon as the best non-fiction book for 2014.

During Adelaide Writers’ Week Hoffman will also join fellow writer Nicholas Shakespeare, who has written about celebrated writer Bruce Chatwin, to discuss two of the 20th century’s great travellers.

Co-presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre and Adelaide Writers’ Week, as part of the 2015 Adelaide Festival of Arts
