COMP CLOSED: ‘The Tipping Point’ by Dinuka McKenzie

This week, we’re giving away three copies of The Tipping Point by Dinuka McKenzie, award-winning author of The Torrent and Taken. We’re so proud of Dinuka’s success as she is a graduate of Australian Writers' Centre. You can also meet her on episodes 526 and 427 of our podcast. This thrilling new action-packed crime novel unfolds in the sweltering heat of summer, introducing Detective Kate Miles, who is thrust into a narrative of mystery and intrigue. Here’s the blurb:

A suicide. A shooting. And a reckoning, decades in the making. 

Weeks from Christmas in the sweltering heat of summer, Detective Kate Miles' estranged brother, Luke Grayling, returns home to Esserton to farewell a childhood friend – Ant Reed, dead by suicide. Within days of the funeral, another young man, Marcus Rowntree, is found shot dead in the back paddock of his property.

Almost twenty years ago, Luke, Ant and Marcus were best mates in high school and now two of the three friends are dead. A tragic coincidence? Or is there something more sinister connecting the three men?

When Luke is identified as a person of interest in Marcus's death, Kate once again finds herself in the middle of a media storm, sidelined from the case and battling accusations of conflict of interest. As press attention deepens, and uncomfortable truths about Luke's personal life and past events come to light, Kate is forced to contend between loyalty to the police force, and the bonds of friendship and blood.
