HANGMAN
ALLEN & UNWIN
Jack Heath
‘Jack Heath’s writing grabs you by the throat, gnaws on your
bones, and washes it all down with a hefty dose of funny. Sick,
twisted, violent, and oh so good. In Timothy Blake, Heath has
created a one-of-a-kind character. I hope.’ —Emma Viskic,
internationally bestselling author of And Fire Came Down

'Jack Heath is set to be the next Matthew Reilly.' Tara Moss,
internationally bestselling author of Assassin
A 14-year-old boy vanishes on his way home from school. His
frantic mother receives a ransom call: pay or else. It's only hours
before the deadline, and the police have no leads. Enter Timothy
Blake, codename Hangman. Blake is a genius, known for solving
impossible cases. He's also a psychopath—the FBI's last resort.
But this time Blake might have met his match. The kidnapper is
more cunning and ruthless than anyone he's faced before. And
Blake has been assigned a new partner, a woman linked to the
past he's so desperate to forget.
Timothy Blake has a secret; one so dark he will do anything to
keep it hidden. And he also has a price. Every time he saves a
life, he takes one . . . Hangman is a mesmerising dissection of the
criminal mind and a bulletproof thriller.
Jack Heath is the author of nineteen acclaimed fiction titles for
middle-grade and YA readers. He lives in Canberra.

Set in rural Tasmania from the 1920s to the 1990s, two sisters’
hopes and dreams intertwine in very different lives
As children, Ida loves looking after her younger sister, Nora, but
when their beloved father dies in 1927 everything changes. The
two girls move in with their grandmother, who is particularly
encouraging of Nora's musical talent, seeing in her the artist she
was never allowed to be. As Nora follows her dream of a brilliant
musical career, Ida takes a job as a nanny. Their lives become
quite separate.
When Nora's life takes an unwelcome direction, she finds herself
isolated in the Tasmanian bush saddled with a husband and
children. Embittered and resentful about her lost chances, Nora
welcomes Ida's help with her chaotic household. In Ida's eyes,
Nora possesses everything in life that could possibly matter. Set
in rural Tasmania over a span of seventy years, the strengths
and flaws of motherhood are revealed through the mercurial
relationship of these two very different sisters. The Sisters' Song
speaks of dreams, children and family, all entwined with a musical
thread that binds them together.
Louise Allan was awarded a Varuna residential fellowship and
shortlisted for the City of Fremantle-TAG Hungerford Award for
The Sister’s Song. She grew up in Tasmania and now lives in
Perth.
