A BREATHTAKING THRILLER FROM THE MILES FRANKLIN AWARD–WINNING AUTHOR OF CHAI TIME AT CINNAMON GARDENS

Sri Lanka, 2009. Decades of civil war and bloodshed are being brought to an end at last—by any means necessary. In the capital, Colombo, tenacious journalist Ameena Fernando is murdered, execution-style, on a busy street near her home, with no witnesses.

With pressure growing to find Ameena’s killer, CIA agent Ellie Harper is sent to seek justice for the journalist’s death, with strict instructions: find something, but not too much. It’s her first time returning to the island after her last mission went tragically awry four years prior, and Ellie has more than one ghost to lay to rest. Amid the international scheming and jostling for stakes in post-war Sri Lanka, Ellie follows the trail of secrets on a mission to uncover a truth worth killing for.

About the Author

Shankari Chandran was raised in Canberra, Australia. She spent a decade in London, working as a lawyer in the social justice field.

She is the author of Song of the Sun God, The Barrier, Safe Haven, Unfinished Business and Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens, which won the 2023 Miles Franklin Literary Award.

Industry Reviews

‘Chandran’s Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens won the 2023 Miles Franklin, and her latest novel moves like a thriller into a story of violence, intrigue and danger, chasing one small reckoning for a nation rebuilding itself after decades of conflict and destruction. It’s a rare thriller that speaks with such urgency and passion to broader concerns in war: truth might be the first casualty of armed conflict but, sadly, the corpses of journalists are never far behind.’
