It's the story of a murder.

It's the story of a marriage.

It's the story of a lifetime.

Noah and Rita. Rita and Noah. They’ve survived a lot: marriage, money troubles, two children and a hurricane that should have killed them. But can their relationship survive Noah’s obsession with a cold case murder?

Noah, a true crime journalist, has just published his first book – the subject for which landed in his lap when the as-yet-unidentified killer of a local woman left a clue addressed to him in his home mailbox. Everything should be coming up roses for him and his family – but the local police hate him, he’s having creepy hallucinations, someone just tried to run him over, his beloved wife Rita has been writing him cryptic messages in the steam on the bathroom mirror – and another apocalyptic storm is heading to Brisbane…

As Noah hurtles headfirst into his own swirling storm of secrets, can he cling for dear life to the only story that really matters – his love story with Rita?

From the #1 bestselling author of BOY SWALLOWS UNIVERSE (made into a major Netflix series), this is dark, gritty, hilarious and unexpected: a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn't.
