Every monster has a weakness.
At the height of Australian summer, a serial killer known as The Shark stalks a coastal suburb, hunting young female swimmers.
Afraid and furious at the failure of the police to protect them, two women fight back. Raych is grieving someone she'd have died to save, while Carmen hides her own disturbing connection to the murders.
In desperation, they form an uneasy alliance. And when another girl vanishes, they take matters into their own hands - by kidnapping the prime suspect. But as their interrogation spirals, horrifying truths surface on both sides of the table.
The clock is ticking to save the missing girl. And in their quest for justice, Raych and Carmen must face the darkest question of all: have they caught a monster - or become one?
The Shark is a propulsive psychological thriller about fear, vengeance and the thin line between predator and victim.

Totally original. A taut and unpredictable thriller
Vividly written and darkly atmospheric, The Shark takes the serial killer novel apart and puts it back together again with a compulsively gripping twist. A terrific serial killer thriller
A ferociously intense, white-knuckle thriller . . . Emma's a shining star of Australian crime fiction, she's subversive and unflinching, and she's done it again here - delivered a propulsive and utterly compelling story that is so tense and atmospheric, it will stay with you long after the last page
Uniquely Australian and packed with atmosphere, The Shark follows Raych and Carmen, both affected by loss and guilt, as they track down a serial killer in their community. Bursting with tension, this is riveting reading
Emma Styles has perfected the art of creating kick-ass female characters that you can't help but love. A hugely original and sometimes shocking tale of friendship and revenge. Emma has a brilliantly unique voice
Blindingly tense and perfectly nuanced, The Shark is an absolute triumph. Styles creates vivid and complex characters in Carmen and Raych, upending serial killer tropes and taking the reader on a terrifying ride as they confront and imprison a man suspected of slaughtering young female swimmers. A thriller with serious depth - you won't read anything else like this in 2026
Thelma and Louise - turbocharged. My heart was racing from the first page to the last of this tense and stylish Australian thriller
PRAISE FOR NO COUNTRY FOR GIRLS
Bold and badass, No Country For Girls is the kind of searingly stylish, unrelenting page-turner I just adore. I burned through the twisting plot
Styles's first novel starts with a bang . . . There are decided echoes of films such as Shallow Grave and Thelma & Louise in this bumpy road trip . . . The real star is the desolate outback
A thrilling cross-country chase through remote Australia
Razor-sharp wit meets pumping action, with twists and turns to keep the pages turning! No Country for Girls is the road trip for our time; relevant, powerful and unrelentingly entertaining . . . Welcome Emma Styles. We didn't know how much we needed you until you came
