Gravity Let Me Go

It’s the story of a murder. It’s the story of a marriage. It’s the story of a lifetime.

Noah Cork has just published the biggest book of his career: a white-hot true-crime story about the cold-blooded killer who slipped an unfolding murder mystery into his mailbox. But if this is his moment of triumph, then why is the tin roof being ripped from the walls of his reality? Why are skeletons standing upright in his closet? Why do people want to run him over in the street? And why does his wife keep writing a cryptic message across the bathroom mirror?

As a severe storm heads towards Brisbane, Noah hurtles headfirst into a swirling maelstrom of secrets. He must now cling for dear life to the only story that ever really mattered. He must hold on to the truth. He must hold on to the story. He must hold on to love.

Dark, rollicking, hilarious, and surprising, Gravity Let Me Go is Trent Dalton’s deeply personal exploration of marriage and ambition, truth-telling and truth-omitting, self-deception and self-preservation. It’s a novel about the stories we want to tell the world and those we shouldn’t, and how the stories we keep locked away are so often the stories that come to define us.
