A thrilling new standalone set in regional South Australia, from one of Australia's most esteemed crime authors.

Sanctuary follows Grace, a thief—a good one. She was taught by experts and has been practising since she was a child. Her expertise lies in small, high-value items—stamps, watches—and she knows her Jaeger-LeCoultres from her Patek Philippes. But it's a solitary life, always watchful, always moving. It's not the life she wants.

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 Erin. And someone is looking for Grace, too. Both men are, in their own ways, very dangerous.

Praise for Garry Disher:

"Arguably Australia's greatest living crime writer." - Canberra Times

"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

"Disher is a master at controlling his material, taking his readers along the dusty, rutted roads that always pop up when we expect bitumen smoothness. But it's a journey worth taking, for the pure joy of the writing." - Herald Sun

"Sanctuary is classic Garry Disher—a well-told, tense crime story anchored around a great central character but including some fascinating minor characters, with an atmospheric sense of place." - Robert Goodman, Pile By the Bed
