My new novel The Dream is out now.
In Australia, it should be available anywhere you care to look: online and off, all the major retailers, including:
All of these shops do mail order.
For the rest of the world, I’m suggesting you start with Amazon in your country. At the moment, only the ebook is available, but the physical edition isn’t far off.
The audio-book version should be available wherever you normally get your audiobooks. The book is narrated by Henry Nixon, who read my previous book The Strip for audio. Henry has appeared in a bunch of great Australian movies: Noise (2007), Somersault (2004), and Sleeping Beauty (2011; the creepy one directed by Julia Leigh, not the Disney thing)

👆That’s the first 30 pages of the book.
You’ll know if it’s for you after that.
And just to really drive home the pitch, here is the cover description:
In a city gripped by recession and shattered by violent bank robberies, three lives collide in a web of corruption, ambition, and revenge.
Detective Bruno Karras, haunted by past secrets, receives mysterious photos of a bloodstained house. Amy Owens, a reluctant investigator entangled with the underworld, digs into the dark dealings of a wealthy businessman. Mike Nichols, a backroom player with big dreams, finds himself caught in the crossfire.
As the glittering façade of the Gold Coast crumbles during the 1982 Commonwealth Games, Bruno, Amy and Mike uncover a sinister plot that threatens to consume them all. In a world where power and deception reign supreme, they must confront their own demons while navigating a labyrinth of danger and betrayal.
These people have already said nice things about the book:
“Perfect for fans of Garry Disher, Adrian McKinty and Peter Temple.”
- Books+Publishing
“If anything, Ryan has intensified what he started with The Strip. The Dream is bloodier, more convoluted, and more disturbing than its predecessor, but it also takes us deeper into its characters’ psyches, draws their emotional stakes closer to the bone.”
- Ben Ford Smith, Newtown Review of Books

In short…
Please consider buying the book.
That’s all.
