Stillwater

By Tanya Scott

After years away from his home town of Melbourne, Luke Harris is back on track. All he wants is a normal job, his own house and a dog.

But Luke is a man with a past, when life was anything but peaceful and his skills ran to the dark side. A past not easily forgotten – or forgiven.

When he crosses paths with Gus Alberici – the brutal criminal he worked for as a teenager – he’s dragged reluctantly back to his old life. Luke’s father has vanished, along with a chunk of Gus’s cash. And something is up with his new girlfriend’s father …

As his past and present collide, can Luke keep his long-held secrets – and outsmart a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants?

About the author:

Tanya Scott is a writer, doctor and medical educator. With years of experience working in mental health care, she has learned more from her patients than from any textbook – not just about physical and mental health, but about humanity, resilience and the absurdity of life.

She is based on Wadawurrung Country, on the Victorian Surf Coast, with her family and pets. When not writing, she can be found with her head in a book or braving the wind at the beach. Stillwater is her first novel.
