A city divided by wealth and status, where the line between life and death proves dangerously thin. When a homeless man’s unremarkable death on Darlinghurst Road reveals itself as murder, followed by the killing of a wealthy Point Piper resident, the stark contrast between Sydney’s social classes becomes the canvas for a methodical investigation.

In Pinchgut, readers are transported to the atmospheric setting of an old fort in Sydney Harbour, where the discovery of a woman’s remains—seventeen years after her disappearance—sets the stage for a compelling cold case investigation. Strang masterfully weaves together the procedural elements of a murder investigation with the human drama that unfolds when long-buried secrets finally come to light.

A captivating crime thriller set against the atmospheric backdrop of an island with a dark colonial past. This tightly woven narrative takes readers to a remote harbor island that once served as a prison, later a shipbuilding facility, and now hosts tourists and concert-goers seeking entertainment far from the mainland.
