Dreamland

Dreamland

Synopsis

Dreamland is Hitchcock on the Hume: a good man corrupted; an identity stolen; a meandering drive from Sydney to Melbourne. It was just a little lie-to say he was the one driving Danny Grogan's car when it was caught by a speed camera. But Danny hasn't told him the full story, and by the time he works it out, it is too late. Soon Nick's 'good deed' has hurled him into a nightmare of dirty secrets, corruption and increasing danger. It leaves him with no choice-he needs to disappear. His years as a crime reporter taught him a lot about aliases, deception, and getting away with it. But Nick soon learns that the person you are pretending to be can be a lot more dangerous than the person you really are. Tom Gilling's long-awaited Dreamland is superbly written and compulsively readable-and its themes and style mark a vast departure from Gilling's highly acclaimed historical novels The Sooterkin and Miles McGinty.'A crime thriller, a road story, a meditation on identity, this taut, suspenseful novel is imbued with contemporary concerns and anxieties.'
