Landfall

By: James Bradley

The world is in the grip of climate catastrophe. Sydney has been transformed by rising sea levels, soaring temperatures and increasingly intense social division and unrest.

When a child on the margins goes missing from the area of the city known as the Floodline, Senior Detective Sadiya Azad is assigned to find her. But when a woman's body is found not far from where the girl disappeared she stumbles into a web of lies and corruption.

With only days until a deadly storm strikes the city Sadiya and her partner Detective Sergeant Paul Findlay find themselves locked in a desperate 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.
