Shimmers ... A tortured tale of blood and loss
*Val McDermid on 'Scrublands'*
Stunning ... Scrublands is that rare combination, a page-turner
that stays long in the memory
*Sunday Times on 'Scrublands'*
Compelling, original and brilliantly executed - an excellent
thriller from a new master of Australian noir
*Charles Cumming, author of A Foreign Country*
Silver is the perfect sequel to Scrublands - dark, twisty and
atmospheric, with writing so real you can almost feel the
blistering heat of the Australian summer. I savoured every page, I
didn't want it to end
*Lisa Hall, author of Between You and Me*
