  By the author of Playing Madame Mao, hailed by Time magazine as "one of the best novels ever written about Singapore". 
   
  Ismael, a transplanted Singaporean, lives on a bucolic suburban Brisbane street. His job is to decide whether asylum-seekers get to stay in the country, a dilemma that never fails to remind him of his own immigrant status. But then his life begins to take on the hue of a nightmare: his neighbour inexplicably commits suicide, his wife dies of cancer, his daughter abandons him for the United States, and his Siamese cat goes missing. 
   
  In Lau Siew Mei’s new novel, an enclosed Australian neighbourhood becomes a microcosm of a world increasingly hostile towards migrants.

But thanks to the overbearing curator and high-tech security system that comes with it, Kathleen's life has been completely disrupted.

  In London, a young woman falls to her death from a balcony while trying to take a daredevil selfie. Or that’s how it appears at first. Psychologist Samantha Willerby isn’t so sure. Called in by the Metropolitan Police to examine a series of cold cases, Sam uncovers a chilling link between this victim and two others: they each had their hair hacked off exactly seven days before they died. 
   
  Then Sam discovers another shocking connection—to herself. When she recognizes one of the victims, she’s determined to crack the case no matter how many rules she breaks. But when her own hair is slashed, one thing becomes fatally certain: Sam has only seven days to catch a calculating serial killer before she becomes the next victim.
