Landfall

James Bradley

The new thriller from "Australia's literary Nostradamus" (The Weekend Australian)

The world is in the grip of climate catastrophe. Sydney has been transformed by rising sea levels, soaring temperatures and increasingly intense social division and unrest.

When a child on the margins goes missing from the area of the city known as the Floodline, Senior Detective Sadiya Azad is assigned to find her. But when a woman's body is found not far from where the girl disappeared she stumbles into a web of lies and corruption.

With only days until a deadly storm strikes the city Sadiya and her partner Detective Sergeant Paul Findlay find themselves locked in a desperate race against time.

Chilling and utterly compelling, Landfall is crime writing at its best - and a terrifying vision of the future bearing down on us.
