A BREATHTAKING THRILLER FROM THE MILES FRANKLIN AWARD–WINNING AUTHOR OF CHAI TIME AT CINNAMON GARDENS

Sri Lanka, 2009. Decades of civil war and bloodshed are being brought to an end at last—by any means necessary. In the capital, Colombo, tenacious journalist Ameena Fernando is murdered, execution-style, on a busy street near her home, with no witnesses.

With pressure growing to find Ameena’s killers, CIA agent Ellie Harper is sent to seek justice for the journalist’s death with strict instructions: find something, but not too much. It’s her first time returning to the island after her last mission went tragically awry four years prior, and Ellie has more than one ghost to lay to rest. Amid the international scheming and jostling for stakes in post-war Sri Lanka, Ellie follows the trail of secrets on a mission to uncover a truth worth killing for.

PRAISE FOR UNFINISHED BUSINESS

‘An explosive thriller that pulses with the weight of history. Forget James Bond, Ellie Harper is the real deal.’—Dinuka McKenzie, author of The Torrent and Tipping Point

‘Tense, gritty and deeply urgent, Unfinished Business is an action-packed thriller with international intrigue and real-world heft.’—Ashley Kalagian Blunt, author of Dark Mode

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
