Noah's arch nemesis

A crime writer won't stop - even for his family's safety

- 

Nobody writes quite like Trent Dalton. His stories are an extraordinary mix of gritty and quirky, laced with dark humour and resonating with truth. This one is about a suburban Brisbane family and is a murder mystery, but definitely not a classic one.

Trent writes in a roundabout way, almost circling the main plotline, as he introduces you to his characters and their world, riffs on whatever happens to be going through his head at the time – like marriage, parenthood, ambition – and generally applies his weird brilliance to everything he covers.
