Sanctuary

Only a writer at the top of his game like Garry Disher could control such a colourful cast and complex plot while maintaining an atmosphere of paranoid suspense. Grace, "split between who she wanted to be and who she inescapably was", is a fascinating protagonist... Sanctuary is a superlative chase thriller * The Times *
Disher keeps the various narrative plates spinning with the dexterity of a master storyteller for an engrossing tale of characters who range from morally ambiguous to wholly indefensible * Guardian *
Grace is an appealing character with a background hard enough to engender sympathy. Through her, Disher depicts a world of unutterable sadness, lightened only by rare moments of human interaction and glimmers of hope * Literary Review *
Garry's work has been compared to Jane Harper and it's not far off - he can develop just as tense a taut a tale * Belfast Telegraph *
Another cracker from one of Australia's best writers * Crime Fiction Lover *
Australia is a montage of tricky individuals, violence, flight and pursuit in this well-written novel * Critic *
Disher cleverly weaves tension throughout the story and builds suspense... Readers who enjoy Hayley Scrivenor, Shelley Burr and Jane Harper should enjoy the thrilling Sanctuary * Books+Publishing *
A rollercoaster of a read * Readings Monthly *
