We love hearing from storytellers here on 2SER, and our next guest is one of Australia’s very best.

For almost thirty years, Matthew Reilly has been entertaining us with thrilling action-adventure and mystery stories, and his latest novel looks set to keep that streak going. In The Detective, Matthew’s new character, Sam Speedman, attempts to solve a cold case that’s been going on for centuries! To tell us more about his new book, The Wednesday Daily was joined by Matthew himself, live from L.A!

The Detective will be released in Australia on the 21st of October, 2025. Matthew will also be doing a number of Sydney appearances to talk about his new book including a special in-conversation event at the Darling Quarter Theatre.
