'The story maintains a palpable sense of unease throughout, interspersed with moments of wry humour...Offers an engaging read-with well-drawn characters-that will appeal to readers of Shelley Burr, Garry Disher and Jane Harper.' Books+Publishing

'5 stars. Action-packed and exciting...I can highly recommend it!' Carpe Librum




After posting a drunken rant that goes horrifically viral, Bronte needs a place to lie low. Jobless, friendless, broke, she volunteers as a carer on an isolated rural property. She won't be paid for looking after dementia sufferer Nell, but at least she'll have a place to stay. Bronte's host is Nell's daughter Veda, who runs spiritual rebirthing retreats. She also claims the rights of a sovereign citizen and rejects the authority of the state, refusing even to register her car. She has acquired a small but devoted following of the like-minded.

Are they harmless cranks, with their conspiracy theories and outrage at government overreach? Or dangerously paranoid domestic terrorists? And what is the dark secret that Nell, in her confused state, keeps harking back to? Bronte, increasingly uneasy, would be getting far away from the whole place-if she had anywhere else to go.

In Panic, master storyteller Catherine Jinks delivers a tense, claustrophobic thriller of isolation and fear that will have you on the edge of your seat.
