The first inaugural event in the series are the first State Director of Forensic Psychiatry in Queensland, Donald Grant, and Managing Editor of Television and Video for ABC News, and journalist Tim Ayliffe.

In Killer Instinct, Grant describes ten true murder cases, each with unique triggers. For most of us, murder is an arm's length experience, close enough to frighten and fascinate yet far enough not to traumatise. For those directly affected, murder can be scarring.
