*** THE TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH *** 'A master storyteller ' - GUARDIAN 'A writer at the top of his game... Sanctuary is a superlative chase thriller' - THE TIMES 'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir' - CHRIS HAMMER NO ONE CAN RUN FOREVER... Grace is a thief - a good one. But she's always on the move, always looking over her shoulder, always alone. It's not the life she wants. Then a run-in with an old associate forces her to lie low in a small rural town, where she happens across an antiques shop. The owner Erin is timid but friendly, and has a room to rent. And Grace glimpses a different life, and perhaps a home. But there are dangerous men watching her, and Grace should know better than to let her guard slip. Because no matter how far she runs, her past is always just a few steps behind... From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation comes a stunning new standalone thriller for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer. 'Disher is one of Australia's most admired novelists' - SUNDAY TIMES 'It's great that crime readers outside the Antipodes are being introduced to the greatness of Garry Disher' - IAN RANKIN

Reviews
Only a writer at the top of his game like Garry Disher could control such a colourful cast and complex plot while maintaining an atmosphere of paranoid suspense. Grace, "split between who she wanted to be and who she inescapably was", is a fascinating protagonist... Sanctuary is a superlative chase thriller * The Times *
Disher keeps the various narrative plates spinning with the dexterity of a master storyteller for an engrossing tale of characters who range from morally ambiguous to wholly indefensible * Guardian *
Grace is an appealing character with a background hard enough to engender sympathy. Through her, Disher depicts a world of unutterable sadness, lightened only by rare moments of human interaction and glimmers of hope * Literary Review *
Garry's work has been compared to Jane Harper and it's not far off - he can develop just as tense a taut a tale * Belfast Telegraph *
Another cracker from one of Australia's best writers * Crime Fiction Lover *
Australia is a montage of tricky individuals, violence, flight and pursuit in this well-written novel * Critic *
Disher cleverly weaves tension throughout the story and builds suspense... Readers who enjoy Hayley Scrivenor, Shelley Burr and Jane Harper should enjoy the thrilling Sanctuary * Books+Publishing *
A rollercoaster of a read * Readings Monthly *
PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR 'Disher is one of Australia's most admired novelists * Sunday Times *
Disher is the equal of Joseph Wambaugh and James Lee Burke * The Times *
