Killing the Rabbit
Murder is the main attraction in this dark and wickedly comic new thriller that follows a young indie filmmaker on her way to fame, fortune, and a shoot-out to the death.
Hannie Reynard landed every aspiring filmmaker's dream: a hefty grant to make her documentary Freaks or Frauds. But the groundbreaking film that was supposed to launch Hannie’s career may kill her first. Blowing the grant money on a lost weekend in Paris was bad enough, but now the "stars" of her film – women who share a unique genetic trait – have stopped talking... and started disappearing.
Coupled with a burned-out ex-classmate hitching his own hopes for a comeback to her project, Hannie finds herself the unlikely co-star of a movie that will never be made if a very powerful someone has anything to say about it. For Hannie is already in the crosshairs of his chief "cameraman" – a ruthlessly unconventional hit man who never misses a lethal shot.

In the quiet hours of a Melbourne morning, Alison Goodman might be found lost in a world not entirely her own—one where dragons whisper secrets, Regency-era heroines fight demons in ballgowns, and twin sisters solve crimes society wishes they’d ignore. That’s the spell Goodman casts: not just stories, but immersive, finely tuned tapestries where genre is a suggestion, not a limit.
Known for her gift of blending historical detail with the fantastical, Goodman has long walked the line between reality and imagination. Her breakout duology, Eon and Eona, took readers deep into a world inspired by ancient China, threading together gender identity, power struggles, and the high-stakes politics of dragon magic. It wasn’t just the vivid setting that caught fire—it was the voice of a girl forced to disguise herself as a boy to claim power in a world that refused her space. The novels became international favorites, celebrated not only for their rich fantasy world-building but also for their timely, thoughtful exploration of identity and agency.
