COMP CLOSED: ‘The Tilt’ by Chris Hammer

This week’s giveaway book is The Tilt – a gripping and atmospheric new multi-layered novel from Chris Hammer, the acclaimed and award-winning author of international bestsellers Scrublands, Silver, Trust  and Treasure & Dirt. Let’s set the mood:

A man runs for his life in a forest.

A woman plans sabotage.

A body is unearthed.

Newly-minted homicide detective Nell Buchanan returns to her home town, annoyed at being assigned a decades-old murder – a ‘file and forget'.

But this is no ordinary cold case, as the discovery of more bodies triggers a chain of escalating events in the present day. As Nell starts to join the pieces together, she begins to question how well she truly knows those closest to her. Could her own family be implicated in the crimes?

The nearer Nell comes to uncovering the secrets of the past, the more dangerous the present becomes for her, as she battles shadowy assailants and sinister forces. Can she survive this harrowing investigation and what price will she have to pay for the truth?
