Sue spoke at the Kiama Readers’ Festival about her latest book ‘Run for your Life’ about Nick Stride and his family who were forced to flee for their lives after leaking secrets from Vladimir Putin’s one-time deputy.
 
Nick moved to Russia in 1998 to help build the British Embassy in Moscow, but ended up on the run, hiding off grid on remote beaches on the Dampier Peninsula on the far north Kimberley coast. 

This session was introduced by local historian, Tony Gilmour.
