Opis
A Long Cold Night is a raw, slow-burning crime drama set in Brisbane’s outer suburbs, where mateship, desperation, and quiet ambition collide in the shadows of everyday life.
Jeremy’s chasing a dream—beats, basslines, and the hope of turning late nights into something lasting. Michael’s hauling bricks, drowning in debt, and staring down fatherhood with no support and no way out. Their friendship is solid, forged over years of shared struggle, but the cracks are starting to show.
What begins as a petty errand spirals into a string of risky a botched shoe shop job, a warehouse break-in, and a mounting trail of consequences neither man is prepared for. Along the way, they cross paths with Jess, whose presence shifts the emotional balance, and Harvey Norton, whose name carries weight and danger. As pressure builds, loyalties fray, and the stakes rise—not with gunfire or bodies, but with fractured trust, quiet betrayals, and the kind of damage that doesn’t heal clean.
Set against the fading light of suburban Brisbane, A Long Cold Night explores the crimes that don’t make headlines—small-time jobs, quiet desperation, and the emotional fallout of choices made too late. It’s a story of mates trying to hold it together while everything around them falls apart. No detectives. No courtroom drama. Just two men, one long night, and the slow unraveling of what they thought they could control.
With sharp dialogue, atmospheric detail, and a deep sense of place, this debut novel delivers a gritty slice of Australian noir. Perfect for fans of Peter Temple, Christos Tsiolkas, and character-driven fiction that trades spectacle for emotional truth.
Some debts aren’t paid in cash. Some fractures never heal. And some nights change everything.
