Publisher's summary

A stunning thriller from the bestselling author of Scrublands and Treasure & Dirt.

A man runs for his life in a forest.

A woman plans sabotage.

A body is unearthed.

Newly-minted homicide detective Nell Buchanan returns to her home town, annoyed at being assigned a decades-old murder—a "file and forget".

But this is no ordinary cold case, as the discovery of more bodies triggers a chain of escalating events in the present day. As Nell starts to join the pieces together, she begins to question how well she truly knows those closest to her. Could her own family be implicated in the crimes?

The nearer Nell comes to uncovering the secrets of the past, the more dangerous the present becomes for her, as she battles shadowy assailants and sinister forces. Can she survive this harrowing investigation and what price will she have to pay for the truth?

Gripping and atmospheric, The Tilt is a stunning multi-layered novel by the acclaimed and award-winning author of the international bestsellers Scrublands, Silver, Trust and Treasure & Dirt.

Would love to see more from Chris Hammer

I enjoyed the two books available on Audible-- Scrublands and The Tilt, but there is a book released in 2023 called either The Seven or Cover the Bones that is not available. The books I have listened to are well written, interesting, suspenseful and take u to Australia. Please make more of his books available.

Complex story, pay attention

Really enjoyed the complexity of this story - keeping track of all the family characters was a challenge for me, but loved it.
