NO ONE CAN RUN FOREVER...
Grace is a thief - a good one. But she's always on the move, always looking over her shoulder, always alone. It's not the life she wants. Then a run-in with an old associate forces her to lie low in a small rural town, where she happens across an antiques shop. The owner Erin is timid but friendly, and has a room to rent. And Grace glimpses a different life, and perhaps a home.
But there are dangerous men watching her, and Grace should know better than to let her guard slip. Because no matter how far she runs, her past is always just a few steps behind...
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation comes a stunning new standalone thriller for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Only a writer at the top of his game like Garry Disher could control such a colourful cast and complex plot while maintaining an atmosphere of paranoid suspense. Grace, "split between who she wanted to be and who she inescapably was", is a fascinating protagonist... Sanctuary is a superlative chase thriller - The Times
Disher keeps the various narrative plates spinning with the dexterity of a master storyteller for an engrossing tale of characters who range from morally ambiguous to wholly indefensible - Guardian
Grace is an appealing character with a background hard enough to engender sympathy. Through her, Disher depicts a world of unutterable sadness, lightened only by rare moments of human interaction and glimmers of hope - Literary Review
Garry's work has been compared to Jane Harper and it's not far off - he can develop just as tense a taut a tale - Belfast Telegraph
Another cracker from one of Australia's best writers - Crime Fiction Lover
Australia is a montage of tricky individuals, violence, flight and pursuit in this well-written novel - Critic
Disher cleverly weaves tension throughout the story and builds suspense... Readers who enjoy Hayley Scrivenor, Shelley Burr and Jane Harper should enjoy the thrilling Sanctuary - Books+Publishing
A rollercoaster of a read - Readings Monthly
