In 2005, the annual Canadian Scene of the Crime Festival takes place Saturday, August 13, with events for mystery readers and writers, including workshops, panels, and our popular church supper.

Once again we will be presenting our Grant Allen Award to a crime writing pioneer. Come and meet the 2005 recipient, William Deverell, Hammett and Arthur Ellis awards-winning author and creator of TV's Street Legal.

And new in 2005: Booze, Boats and Bill - a presentation by author Bill Hunt, an expert in Prohibition-era tales, criminal and otherwise.

PLUS:

  • More mystery authors, including J.D. Carpenter, H. Mel Malton, Peter Sellers, Sylvia Warsh and poker-champ-turned-writer Rick Gadziola;
  • A home-made lunch served up with Island hospitality;
  • Panel discussion moderated by retired citizenship court judge and broadcaster Roy Bonisteel;
  • All-new workshop for beginning writers;
  • Old-fashioned church supper with authors ... and keep your fork, there's fresh-baked pie!
