A thrilling new standalone from one of Australia’s most esteemed crime authors.

SANCTUARY
by Garry Disher
Text Publishing, April 2024

Grace is good at theft. She was taught by experts and she’s been practising since she was a kid. She specialises in small, high value items—stamps, watches—and she knows her Jaeger- LeCoultres from her Patek Philippes. But it’s not the life she wants.

Then, lying low after a run-in with an old associate, Grace walks into Erin Mandel’s rural antiques shop and sees a chance for something different. A normal job. A place to call home.

But someone is looking for Grace. And someone’s looking for Erin, too.

And they are both, in their own ways, very dangerous men.
