Iain Ryan The Dream
New crime fiction from the author of The Strip. Reviewer Ben Ford Smith wrote:
‘The Dream is bloodier, more convoluted, and more disturbing than its predecessor, but it also takes us deeper into its characters’ psyches, draws their emotional stakes closer to the bone. Ryan has succeeded in creating three equally compelling protagonists, each of their short, alternating chapters illuminating some dark crevice of the central mystery they are uncovering.”

Santilla Chingaipe Black Convicts
There were at least 15 convicts of African descent on the First Fleet of 1788. By 1840 they numbered almost 500. Santilla Chingaipe recovers their lives, offering a fresh understanding of how empire, slavery, race and memory have shaped Australia.
