A serial killer is stalking through Sydney, hell-bent on recreating scenes from the Fabrica, the 16th-century foundation text of modern anatomy. The spate of cold, methodical attacks has the city on edge, but the serial killer may not even be the darkest player in this story. Desperate for a breakthrough, decorated homicide detective David Murphy draws into the case his art historian sister, Joanna, and Sylvia, his wife. Unravelling the mystery of who is behind the killings pushes each beyond the limits of what they thought possible. The Tribute is a subversive take on modern masculinity and misogyny told through an irresistible crime narrative. Dark and unpredictable, chilling but sympathetic, it weaves a tapestry of narrative threads towards a mesmerizing climax that will challenge the way you think about everyone you meet. Meticulously researched, hugely ambitious and superbly crafted, The Tribute is an outstanding thriller. 'Begins as a compelling crime novel, then shifts into something even more shocking and wonderful.' Christian White, author of The Nowhere Child. 'Inventive, layered and brilliantly written. The Tribute is a class act.' David Whish-Wilson, author of True West. 'A suspenseful and unnerving dissection of masculinity.' Natasha Stott Despoja, author of On Violence.
