From one of Australia’s most acclaimed novelists—a “taut, suspenseful” psychological thriller about white lies, dark deeds, and the mysteries of self (Publishers Weekly).

It was just a harmless lie—to say he was driving Danny Grogan’s car when it was caught speeding down the Sydney streets on New Year’s Eve—and Danny’s father, a billionaire real estate tycoon, has promised to make it worth his while. But only after former reporter Nick Carmody stands up in court to profess his guilt does he realize what he’s admitting to. And it’s too late.

Nick’s “good deed” hurls him into a world of corruption, drugs, and murder. To save his life, he has no choice but to disappear and become someone else. But a new identity can be even more dangerous than the one left behind. As his new life in Melbourne veers out of control, Nick has to question whether chance alone is responsible, or whether more sinister forces are at work.

A darkly comic page-turner, Seven Mile Beach is a haunting modern fable from the New York Times Notable author of The Sooterkin and The Adventures of Miles and Isabel.

“Unusual, fast, light, short, suspenseful, meaningful, and filled with an immigrant’s pointed observations about identity and the possibility of changing it.” —Josh Bazell, The New York Times Book Review
