Crimson Lake

Where True Detective meets the Sunshine Coast. A tightly-written thriller in a sinister, humid setting.
Wimmera
Mark Brandi
Top-notch Aussie rural literary noir. A deeply unsettling exploration of boyhood and the rippling damage of child sexual assault.
The Thirst
Jo Nesbø
Nesbø is back to his best with a gripping and dark Harry Hole thriller. Tinder-users beware, your date may have a thirst for blood.
And Fire Came Down
