Sharon Pafistis sits alone in her architectural masterpiece on their wedding anniversary, tracing photographs of a life that suddenly feels like archaeology. When two detectives arrive to investigate Adrian's disappearance, Sharon's carefully maintained composure begins to fracture—and the mention of a client's name triggers a reaction in Detective Jenkins that transforms a routine interview into something far more sinister.
Sharon Pafistis has spent her whole life learning that what people call vanity is really currency — the small, careful trade by which a battered woman buys back the look of being whole. She got good at the exchange in a Cornish tearoom, better at it in a Truro salon, and built a business on it in Hobart that women came to be heard in as much as styled. She married a man she barely knew, picked a lock for the first time at forty-two, and discovered an appetite for the wrong things she has never quite put down.

Joel Gibbons had never been anywhere. Hadn't finished school. Hadn't met his father. Hadn't done much except show up for his mum and hope that counted for something. A passport application changed everything—a name on a birth certificate, a coincidence that put him in the wrong place, and a death he didn't see coming. Joel should have stayed dead. Instead, he woke in glowing water—claimed before he even drew breath—gasping back to life with three words branded somewhere deeper than skin. You are mine.

Into the Dark is a haunting thriller about loyalty, obsession, and the cost of stepping beyond the light.
Men are vanishing across Tasmania, and Detective Senior Constable Karl Jenkins is running out of time, patience, and sanity.
