  The summer of 1966–7. Hal and his little brother have just come to live in Moorabool. They’re exploring the creek near their new home when they find the body of a dog. 
   
  Not just dead, but killed. 
   
  Not just killed, but horribly maimed. 
   
  Constable Mick Goodenough, recently demoted from his big-city job as a detective, is also new in town—and one of his dogs has gone missing. Like other pets around the town. 
   
  He knows what it means when someone tortures animals to death. They’re practising. So when Hal’s mother starts getting late-night phone calls—a man whistling, then hanging up—Goodenough, alone among the Moorabool cops, takes her seriously. But will that be enough to keep her and her young sons safe? 
   
  Nostalgic yet clear-eyed, simmering with small-town menace, Greg Woodland’s wildly impressive debut populates the rural Australia of the 1960s with memorable characters and almost unbearable tension. 
   
  ‘Troubling undercurrents swirl in a seductively involving story of small-town secrets and obsessions.’ GARRY DISHER 
   
  ‘A haunting, tense and unforgettable debut.’ CHRISTIAN WHITE

  A Descent into the Maelström

  In Edgar Allan Poe’s gripping tale of survival and cosmic terror, A Descent into the Maelström plunges listeners into a tempest of elemental fury and existential dread. Set amidst the wild Norwegian coast, the story follows an old fisherman who recounts the nightmarish experience that turned his hair white and changed his life forever. 
  As a violent hurricane wrecks his fishing boat, he and his brothers are dragged toward the Moskoe-strom—a vast, apocalyptic whirlpool capable of swallowing ships whole. But amidst the chaos, a keen observation about how different objects behave in the vortex offers him a desperate shot at survival. 
  Told with Poe’s signature intensity and philosophical depth, this psychological maritime thriller explores mankind’s insignificance in the face of nature’s overwhelming power. A stunning blend of science, suspense, and Gothic atmosphere, it remains one of Poe’s most visually powerful and underrated works.

  "More than a thriller—it’s an escape from reality and the perfect tonic at the end of a hard day.”—Orlando Sentinel  
    
  It's not easy being the Godfather. All those secrets and all that guilt add up to a terrible burden—a weight that's killing Vincente Delgatto. When the old man travels to Key West for a visit with his illegitimate son—Joey Goldman, the unlikely hero of FLORIDA STRAITS—Joey floats the idea of a conscience-easing memoir, to be written in collaboration with a local reporter.  
    
  It's a well-intentioned but extremely dangerous idea, since no one—not the Mafia, not the FBI, not the legitimate heir to the Delgatto family business—wants to see that memoir published. Will Vincente live long enough to get a lifetime's worth of secrets off his chest? Will writer Arty Magnus ever actually finish a book? For that matter, will Bert the Shirt and his chihuahua Don Giovanni ever enjoy a completely successful walk, and are there punishments enough on earth for Gino, the ingrate son who'd rat out his own father? 
    
  Balancing suspense and humor, double-crosses and tenderness, SUNBURN is both a full-throttle crime novel and a touching meditation on family, old age, and the many shades of human loyalty.

Yet, when Amelia starts visiting her bar, she can’t help but notice and be intrigued by the quiet young woman. Amelia’s roommate and best friend, Eliza, doesn’t have much faith in Amelia’s chances with Mel; she sees Amelia as a naive romantic, whereas Mel is tough and mysterious—maybe a bit too mysterious for Eliza’s liking. If Mel did let herself fall for pretty little Amelia, could a relationship survive Eliza’s meddling and Mel’s dark past?
