Publisher Description

A missing child.
A city on edge.
Time is running out…

The world is in the grip of climate catastrophe. Sydney has been transformed by rising sea levels, soaring temperatures and rocketing social divide and unrest.
When a small girl on the margins goes missing, Senior Detective Sadiya Azad is assigned to find her. She knows exactly what it is to be displaced, and swallowed by the landscape. A murder at the site of the child’s disappearance suggests a connection and web of corruption, but fear keeps eyes turned and mouths closed.
With few leads to go on and only days until a deadly storm strikes the city, Sadiya and offsider Detective Sergeant Paul Findlay find themselves locked in a race against time.
Chilling and utterly compelling, Landfall is crime writing at its best – and a terrifying vision of the future bearing down on us.

All too plausible

A harrowing tale of a future shaped by sea level rise and human displacement - cli-fi in the form of a police procedural. The inexorable build of an approaching storm and an unsolved kidnapping drive the story, but at its heart it’s about cruelty and kindness - our boundless ability to be awful and the imperative to care for each other as this future unfolds.
