The Bluffs

Description

A brilliantly twisty yarn for all fans of Aussie noir. - New Idea

When a school group of teenage girls goes missing in the remote Tasmanian wilderness, the people of Limestone Creek are immediately on alert. Three decades ago, five young girls disappeared amidst those dangerous bluffs, and the legend of 'the Hungry Man' still haunts locals to this day.

The girls' teacher was knocked unconscious, so someone on the mountain was up to foul play. Jordan Murphy, the local dealer and father of missing student Jasmine, instantly becomes the prime suspect. But Detective Con Badenhorst knows that in a town like this—with corrupt cops, small-town politics, and a teenage YouTube sensation—everyone is hiding something, and bluffing is second nature.

What happened up there on the bluffs? Somebody knows—unless the local legends are true...

Tense, atmospheric and unsettling, this book will stay with you long after you turn the last page and long after you turn out the lights. - Christian White

This atmospheric, scenery-rich crime tale embodies both the beauty and brutality of nature—especially human nature. The Bluffs establishes Perry as a fierce new talent. - Apple Books

A thrilling and immersive debut...The Bluffs manages to tell a riveting story that will give even a seasoned thriller reader goosebumps. - Better Reading
