Now in smaller format paperback, the thrilling standalone from one of Australia's most esteemed crime writers.

Grace is a talented thief ready for a normal life. 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 weekday job. A place to call home.

But someone is looking for Erin. And someone's looking for Grace, too. And they are both, in their own ways, very dangerous men.

If you've never read a book by Garry Disher before, this standalone novel is an excellent place to start. If you are already a Disher fan, you will know to expect a rollercoaster of a read, full of disturbing crimes and unscrupulous crooks. Except Grace, of course, she's the kind of criminal you'll find yourself barracking for in the end, hoping she finds her place of refuge, safe from persecution, and prosecution. – Readings

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

What can we say, Garry Disher just goes from strength to strength and we think Sanctuary is one of his best yet. – Avenue Bookstore

His novels are busy, a complete world in themselves. Yes, there are capers and car chases, but they are multilayered, full of humanity, nuanced, evocative of place and covering the panoply of alarming social issues. – Guardian

Highly recommended... A memorable and absorbing crime thriller... Disher is an outstanding crime writer and Sanctuary is another page turner that will thrill his readers. – ReadPlus
