John Marrs
Faster than wildfire and instantly chilling, I enjoyed every moment of this scorching thriller. Ward paints a masterful picture, from the blazing bushfires, to the strangers within, every scene laced with mistrust and menace
Sam Holland, author of THE ECHO MAN
The heat jumps off the page in this ingenious thriller that pits seven strangers against each other and the unforgiving Outback. The plot moves faster than a wildfire with characters and landscape pushed to the extreme. An immersive read for fans of Outback Noir, Jane Harper or Emma Styles.
Jo Furniss, author of DEAD MILE
Richly evocative and incredibly tense, this atmospheric thriller kept me reading late into the night. As bushfires burn, the tension rises amongst strangers in the outback. A brilliantly menacing story not to be missed.
Eleanor Ray, author of IN STRANGERS' HOUSES (The Lena Szarka Mysteries)
What a ride! This is a writer at the absolute top of his game. Cunning, claustrophobic and irrepressible, this white-hot outback thriller builds with blistering pace and doesn't let up. As intense as a bushfire and every bit as devastating. Every copy should come with oven gloves.
Kate Simants, author of LOCK ME IN
The Safe House is taut with isolation and lavish with luxury. An edge of your seat, hold your breath white-knuckle ride of a thriller. Don't read in the house alone!
Rachael Blok, acclaimed author of UNDER THE ICE, THE SCORCHED EARTH and INTO THE FIRE
Raging outback fires form a terrifying backdrop to this scorching thriller from Cameron Ward. From the moment Jess arrives to caretake a luxury property in the Australian outback, the sense of menace starts to ratchet. As various waifs and strays take refuge in the house and its grounds, Jess finds herself fighting both the flames and a killer in their midst. A blistering page turner!
Heather Critchlow, author of UNSOLVED
Take nothing for granted in this scorching thriller!
