Landfall

Sydney is full of climate refugees. Food and water insecurity have created tension. There is poverty, suspicion and cultural disharmony. A world of have and have nots.

In this environment a 5 year old girl from the Floodline, Casey, disappears.

Then the body of an auditor from a development company is found burnt in a car on the site where Casey disappeared. Are they related?

As the next cyclone, bigger than the last, approaches detective Sadiya Azad and her partner, Findlay fight the clock, the apathy of the police force, and the suspicion of the residents of the floodline to locate Casey.

Moving from the inundated streets and crumbling buildings of the Floodline to the refugee camps on the outskirts of the city and the elegant, air-conditioned homes of the wealthy, Landfall is both a crime thriller and a terrifying vision of the future that is bearing down on us.
