The latest stunning thriller from the bestselling author of Scrublands and Treasure & Dirt has hit the shelves, and we’ve got 16 copies up for grabs!

‘Chris Hammer is in the platinum class of Australian Detective writers. He is an undeniable master of the carefully layered novel, which unfolds remorselessly to reveal the perpetrators of murder on the arid frontier.’ – The Weekend Australian on Treasure & Dirt

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?

Gripping and atmospheric, The Tilt is a stunning multi-layered novel by the acclaimed and award- winning author of the international bestsellers Scrublands, Silver, Trust and Treasure & Dirt.

  • A Chris Hammer crime thriller is a certainty for a solved case with twists and turns, thrills and spills where I won’t want to stop until I’ve finished his latest great novel. A great night in curled up in air conditioned comfort with cold snacks/drink (cause I’ll forget them) which is self care at its finest for me. Thanks :)


  • Chris Hammer writes cracker stories. A new book from him is unmissable! T’d read it straight away and won’t want to put it down. The way he weaves three different timelines without ever losing focus, and creates such a broad cast of compelling and emotionally complex characters is truly impressive.


  • Ooh yes please. I love reading and this is my kind of book. I also love finding new Authors to me and I’ve never read a Chris Hammer book. Love to escape reality with my head in a great book!


  • I’d like to win because I’m studying at the Australian Writer’s Centre to become an author and I am writing a novel in the same genre. Reading is critical to learning how to write and this book is perfect.

  • Chris Hammer is a mastermind and one of my favourite authors, he really knows how to get you interested into every book he writes. He is so complex and his books always keep you on your toes!


  • Chris Hammer is a master of the Australian crime thriller. I particularly enjoyed “Scrublands”. I would love to win a copy of ‘The Tilt’ so that I can while away my summer break with intriguing crime in an Australian setting. I expect that it will be engrossing.


  • Wow – loving the blurb and just have to dive into this – just live for mysteries/thrillers – must know what happens.

  • I would like to win a copy for my wife. Crime, intrigue, and surprising plot changes are my wife’s genre. Although if she does win a copy, it means I won’t get any sense/response out of her until she’s finished the book, if she runs true to form. She normally curls up in her squatters chair on the verandah, and I don’t hear boo from her.


  • I love to read everyday and The Tilt sounds very exciting indeed. Australian authors are the best in the world and I would love to read this gripping and atmospheric adventure.
