Summary

Desire, a spark, and a decision made too fast. A Las Vegas stripper is plunged into the depraved world of a psychopath. But is she the only target of his twisted desires?
 
A regular Sunday night in a Las Vegas strip club is rocked when a local oddball dies mysteriously during a private dance.
 
Amber falls immediately in lust with the hot paramedic who arrives, and follows him outside. But her casual encounter quickly descends into a terrifying, twisted nightmare from which she is unable to escape.
 
Five days later, it’s Lana’s next shift at the club. She’s a fly-in-fly-out dancer paying her way through law school – and she’s Amber’s best friend. But where is Amber, and what about the dead client? Was it an accident, suicide, or murder?
 
Finding neither the police nor the club are taking much interest, Lana conducts her own inquiries. Thrust into a web of lies and deceptions she is determined to unravel, she's desperate to uncover the truth about the death, but the person she most needs to speak to is Amber.
 
An addictively dark, psychological thriller, Isobel Blackthorn's 'Twerk' exposes the working lives of strippers beyond the glamor - the challenges, the rewards, and the risks.

    Meet Cato Kwong – disgraced cop and ex-poster boy for the police force.  
    The world is in economic meltdown, but a mining town on the edge of nowhere is booming. With the town’s population exploding, it’s easy enough to hide a crime—or even a dirty past. Banished to the stock squad after the fallout from a police frame-up, Detective Senior Sergeant Cato Kwong is brought in from the cold to solve the case of a torso washed up on the wild shores of the Great Southern Ocean. When Kwong’s investigation lifts the lid on the exploitation of migrant workers and disturbs an even darker criminal mind, the fallen cop faces powerful opposition. Drawing in globally relevant issues, such as immigration, racism, and the economic crisis, this is a humorous and tightly plotted crime narrative.
