James Bradley is an acclaimed Australian writer known for his thought-provoking narratives that often explore themes of climate change and societal transformation. His latest novel, Landfall, is a gripping crime thriller set in a near-future Sydney ravaged by climate catastrophe. Rising sea levels, extreme temperatures, and social unrest form the backdrop for a tense investigation led by Senior Detective Sadiya Azad, who is racing against time to find a missing child before a deadly storm strikes.

Bradley masterfully blends environmental concerns with a compelling mystery, creating a novel that is both urgent and unsettling. Landfall is not just a crime story—it’s a chilling vision of a future shaped by the consequences of inaction

Chilling and utterly compelling, Landfall is crime writing at its best – and a terrifying vision of the future bearing down on us.
