Would you kill your brother to save yourself?
After months of searching, disgraced athlete Elise Glyk has finally found her missing brother, Callum. He's being held in a backyard prison by Stephanie Hartnell, a former sheep farmer with an axe to grind. But before she can free Callum or call for help, Elise is captured and locked up alongside him.
Stephanie Hartnell doesn't have room for two prisoners, and she has nothing against Elise. But she needs to make sure Elise can't go to the police. So she offers her a deal: kill Callum, and you're free to go.
Of course, Elise won't even consider the deal. No way. It's unthinkable. But she's running out of time to find another way out. And her brother may not have told her the whole truth ...
A twisted roller-coaster of action and suspense from the acclaimed bestselling author of Hangman.
'Utterly compelling. A complex sibling relationship twisting and turning on itself ... shades of Stephen King. Yes, it's that good ... A wickedly delicious feast of a thriller.'
SARAH THORNTON, author of Lapse

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Kill Your Brother, from celebrated Australian crime writer Jack Heath, is the very definition of a pageturner: the premise is perfection, the plot is propulsive and the payoff is truly spine tingling. Former paramedic and disgraced athlete Elise has been searching for her missing brother, Callum, for months when she finds him…in a makeshift prison in a mysterious woman’s backyard. As the chilling prologue reveals, the gun-slinging captor will let Elise go free if she kills Callum. Told through snapshots of the claustrophobic present and the confusing past, this taut and tumultuous read probes the boundaries we’re willing to cross to protect our families.
