Mire

Mire by Matt Nable is a sharp, cinematic crime thriller that hurtles from 1980s Sydney’s swaggering stock market scene to the NSW South Coast, then on to New York’s Mafia-ruled streets. If you like fast-moving Australian fiction with big stakes and bigger atmosphere, this one grabs hard from page one.

Dan Milligan has spent his life chasing the next hit: money, risk, power, and the buzz that comes with winning. When the market collapses in 1987, he’s forced into a quieter life—at least on the surface. But the past has a way of circling back, and when a new opportunity appears, Dan faces a choice with consequences he can’t see coming.

Perfect for readers who enjoy gritty noir, organised crime, and morally complicated characters, with a strong sense of place and era.

Step into Mire and see just how far Dan will go to get his life back.
