Point Break meets Rear Window in this heart-pounding, suspenseful thriller set in Byron Bay.

A killer on the loose. A surfer out of his depth ...

Bo Curren was once a champion surfer. Now, at twenty-eight, he's all washed up โ€” unable even to set foot near the ocean.

Instead, he spends his days alone in his apartment, drowning his sorrows in whiskey and watching surfers on his laptop via the 24-hour surf webcam.

Then one day he sees something he shouldn't. A camera trained on a deserted Byron Bay beach picks up a murder right there on the sand.

The police dismiss his report, and no bodies are found. Yet Bo knows what he saw.

And he has a clue โ€” the murderer's distinctive surfboard. If he can track that down, he'll catch the killer.

But is he ready to dive back into a world where the rules are unspoken, outsiders aren't welcome, and where secrets can be as dangerous as the waves?

The Lineup reads like a riptide. Once you're in it, it won't let you go. โ€” Michael Brissenden, author of Dust

The Lineup crashes into the Australian crime scene with the force of a perfect wave โ€” a tense debut that drags you under and doesn't let you surface until it's done. Highly recommend. โ€” R.W.R. McDonald, author of The Nancys

The kind of book that grabs you and doesn't let go, The Lineup will sweep you away in an adrenaline rush of action and intrigue, all the while exploring a poignant thread about trauma and grief. โ€” Jess Kitching, author of The Life Experiment
