'Survivor on steroids' GREG WOODLAND

Would you kill your brother to save yourself?

After months of searching, disgraced athlete Elise Glyk has finally found her missing brother, Callum. He's being held in a backyard prison by Stephanie Hartnell, a former sheep farmer with an axe to grind. But before she can free Callum or call for help, Elise is captured and locked up alongside him.

Stephanie Hartnell doesn't have room for two prisoners, and she has nothing against Elise. But she needs to make sure Elise can't go to the police. So she offers her a deal: kill Callum, and you're free to go.

Of course, Elise won't even consider the deal. No way. It's unthinkable. But she's running out of time to find another way out. And her brother may not have told her the whole truth ...

A twisted roller-coaster of action and suspense from the acclaimed bestselling author of Hangman.

'Utterly compelling. A complex sibling relationship twisting and turning on itself . . . shades of Stephen King. Yes, it's that good . . . A wickedly delicious feast of a thriller.' SARAH THORNTON, author of Lapse

Reviews for Kill Your Brother

"""One of Australia's most brilliant and potentially psychotic crime fiction authors, Jack Heath, returns with a powerful and captivating thriller, Kill Your Brother, which was one of the best pieces of Australian fiction I read all year. . . . Focused around an amazingly complex protagonist and making full use of the rural Australian landscape. . . This is a highly recommended read that gets a well-deserved five-star rating from me. I am extremely excited to see what Heath writes next."" --The Unseen Library ""A well-crafted psychological thriller which will more than satisfy the readers of the Timothy Blake series. Well recommended."" --Queensland Reviewers Collective ""I'm pleased to report that the author is just as skilled at writing kick-ass female characters as he is penning kick-ass male ones. . . . The sibling dynamic between Elise and Callum was layered and entertaining and the setting in Warrigul in Victoria was a refreshing surprise and a stroke of genius from this Canberra based author. Kill Your Brother is the latest high octane crime thriller from Jack Heath and it's a ripper of a stand alone novel. Highly recommended!"" --Carpe Librum Praise for the Hangman series: ""Brilliant!"" --Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author ""Two well-chewed thumbs up."" --Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestselling author"
