  Mason Sharpe has some lethal skills. In this little town, he’s going to need them. 
   
  On a dark Alabama highway, army veteran Mason Sharpe witnesses a terrible accident. As he fights to rescue a woman from the burning vehicle he notices one of her eyes is bright blue, the other deep brown. Then, she vanishes. Gone without a trace. 
   
  When Mason describes her to local police, they’re stunned. His description matches one Delia Crawford, famed for her unusual eyes. But Delia disappeared as a child, eleven years prior. How could she possibly show up in a car accident now? 
   
  But Mason knows what he saw. His gut tells him something deeply sinister is going down, and Delia Crawford is somehow involved. 
   
  Why will none of the locals talk about Delia? Why is one mining company still turning big profits in a town crippled by the industry’s decline? And why is Mason being followed by two shady characters in a pitch black pickup truck? 
   
  Like a hunting dog on the scent, he digs deep to uncover the grim truth — and comes to the attention of some very violent men. 
   
  They want him gone, but he’s not going anywhere. Push Mason into a corner, and he’ll push right back. All the way to the End Game.

  SHORTLISTED FOR THE NED KELLY AWARD FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL CRIME FICTION 
   
  A compelling courtroom drama, Dice is an incredibly timely exploration of how sexual violence is viewed in our society. 
   
  Four teenage boys invent a sex game based on rolling dice and doing what the numbers say. 
   
  They are charged with multiple sexual offences against three teenage girls. 
   
  Twelve random jurors are brought together in a trial to work out what actually happened. 
   
  Only they can say whether crimes have been committed and who should be punished. 
   
  How does the jury find? 
   
  Dice is a stunning courtroom drama told from the perspective of a diverse group of ordinary people – the jury. How will twelve women and men, aged from eighteen to seventy-two with hugely disparate backgrounds, beliefs and experience, decide whether consent was given or crimes were committed? 
   
  How can they possibly arrive at a unanimous verdict? How will justice be properly served? 
   
  In this dazzlingly accomplished and gripping debut novel, chapters are told through the point of view of each juror as the trial unfolds. The reader too becomes a jury member as the evidence is presented and information is withheld, fragmented and re-told by different witnesses. Each person must decide where the truth lies. 
   
  Will the verdict deliver justice, or just reflect the prejudices and differences in the jury? 
   
  'Dice has a forensic depth that is compelling, that challenges and deeply moves the reader. But what sets this novel apart is the precision and power of the writing. This is fiction that doesn't want to be journalism, it affirms the truth and nuance and possibility of imagination.' Christos Tsiolkas, author of The Slap 
   
  'Dice achieves what the best fiction achieves: it draws us into the story on a deeply personal level, coaxing us to consider what we would do in the same situation...the moving and powerful final moment delivers a sense of narrative completion while also reminding us of the flawed nature of the justice system.' Catherine Chidgey, award-winning author of Remote Sympathy 
   
  'An utterly compelling, nuanced and appropriately complex read that effortlessly depicts the unique combination of the sensational and the mundane, which often characterises the criminal trial.' Professor Vanessa Munro, Warwick University
