Book Description
'Wild and brilliantly crafted' – Sarah Crossan, author of One and Where the Heart Should Be A sea-soaked story of friendship, community and discovering what it means to carry home in your heart, from Carnegie Medal-winning author Katya Balen. On the Island of Ayrie, everybody knows everyone. They know each other's stories as they know every road, every hill and the coming of the tide. In the summer, there are bonfires to celebrate the migration of the puffins. Everything is familiar, nothing much changes, and for Tilda, nothing ever should – it is beautiful, it is perfect and it is home. When newcomer Albie arrives at the island, Tilda wants to show Ayrie off – Albie wants her to leave him alone. She learns quickly that it'll take more than a tour and some seal viewings to win him around. Then, she remembers stories of the old island just an hour's boat ride away from the shore. The old island is a death trap. The journey there is treacherous. Trips across to it are strictly forbidden. And there's a rumour it's haunted by the ghosts of those left there to die. But with all else having failed, the old island is the only way for Tilda to make Albie see what she sees in Ayrie. Besides, it's a different kind of ghost that worries Tilda. The ghost that's been following her, now, since her brother left the island ... 'Beautifully written, full of heart' – Julia Green

Book Description
Philip Trudeau, a once-respected investigative journalist, has stepped on the wrong toes. With his personal life and health deteriorating around him, he is consigned to a suburban newspaper where he writes ‘filler’ local news articles to be slotted in among the real estate advertisements. Sent to cover what appears to be a tragic-yet-routine death at a level crossing, Philip is drawn into a multilayered mystery that includes art theft, political intrigue and business corruption … not to mention murder. Ghostlines is a cleverly-plotted and compelling story that is part thriller and part psychological mystery. ‘Ghostlines is rough-cut, grainy and good … Earthy and exciting, with a bluesy, wistful air.’ — The Australian ‘A thriller with a neat psychological twist.’ — The Herald-Sun ‘Crime fans will enjoy the compelling narrative, succinct writing and the pleasing lack of blood, gore and psychopathic behaviour that mars most contemporary crime stories … FOUR STARS’ — Bookseller and Publisher WINNER Ned Kelly Award for a debut crime novel WINNER Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript
