Stillwater by Tanya Scott, a suspenseful debut crime thriller for fans of Lee Child and Jane Harper.

After years away from his home town of Melbourne, Luke Harris is back on track. All he wants is a normal job, his own house and a dog.

But Luke is a man with a past, when life was anything but peaceful and his skills ran to the dark side. A past not easily forgotten – or forgiven.

‘Tanya Scott’s debut, Stillwater, masterfully weaves together the past and present in a suspenseful, emotionally charged crime thriller…a gripping debut filled with moral ambiguity and unexpected twists, and will appeal to fans of Jane Harper and other thoughtful, character-driven crime fiction that explores how the past can resurface in unexpected and dangerous ways.’ Australian Bookseller & Publisher

‘Scott makes the life-or-death stakes of Jack’s dilemma palpable, and the novel’s terse prose and three-dimensional characters add depth. This gritty coming-of-age tale grabs readers’ attention and doesn’t let go.’ US Publishers Weekly
