Evil will find its way in.

Evil will find its way in.

A year since the death of the man who abducted her, Sergeant Jill Jackson has been promoted and is stronger than she's been in years. But with the promotion comes a transfer to a taskforce targeting gang-related home invasions in south western Sydney, a new partner, a whole new team to work with, and some of the grisliest cases Jill's ever encountered.

The gang is believed to be responsible for at least five brutal home invasions over the past two months, with the most recent culminating in a vicious machete attack that has left one of the victims crippled. When the violence escalates to murder, suddenly Jill and the team find themselves hunting a psychopath, and delving into the pasts of victims and witnesses in a race against time to uncover what links them to the killer.

The thrilling follow-up to her bestselling debut, Vodka Doesn't Freeze, Voodoo Doll will have you double checking the locks on your doors.

Praise for Voodoo Doll

Praise for Black Ice: Definitely one for those who like their crime novels tough and demanding

Australian Bookseller and Publisher

Praise for Black Ice: This stands up against any bestseller of the genre and then its local setting makes it better

West Australian

Praise for Black Ice: With plenty happening, Giarratano is cool and calm at the controls. In a word- suspenseful

Gold Coast Bulletin

Praise for Black Ice: Leah's writing remains tight and true and really quite exciting.

Courier Mail

Praise for Black Ice: Although Leah obviously draws on her enormous experience as a clinical psychologist working with both victims and psychopaths to flesh out her characters, she demonstrates increasing confidence and writing skill with each and every book.

Derek Dryden, Better Read Than Dead Bookshop

Praise for Vodka Doesn't Freeze: I can happily recommend this book highly to fans of psychological thriller readers.

After Dark My Sweet

Praise for Vodka Doesn't Freeze: Particularly nasty crime fiction that threatens to keep you awake at night can always be dismissed with that hoary old chestnut “It’s only make-believe” ... No such comfort with a debut book by Leah Giarratano.

Lucy Clark, Sunday Telegraph

Praise for Vodka Doesn't Freeze: Her book is a chiller and quite a hard one to put down

Courier Mail

Vodka Doesn’t Freeze...has a sensational and involving plot, and (as you would expect) psychologically accurate characterisations

The Age

Praise for Voodoo Doll: Giarratano's second thriller is a page-turner, noteworthy for its expert characterisation and often chilling psychological veracity.

The Age

Praise for Voodoo Doll: There is no denying that Giarratanoís strengths are in the crafting of her characters. No cardboard cutouts are these, but beautifully constructed and wonderfully fleshed out, as readers of Giarratanoís first novel have come to expect.
