Gravity Let Me Go

Noah Cork has spent his life as a crime journalist. Then one day he found a message in his letterbox which led him to discovering a murder in his neighbourhood. Although the killer was still unknown, Noah wrote a true crime book about how the body was discovered. The book is a best seller but he did not anticipate the aftermath when the book was published.

Set in a Brisbane suburb, Gravity Let Me Go by Trent Dalton is an account of the chaos that occurs in Noah's life after the publication of the book. For the six months spent writing his book Noah had neglected his family and now fears that his marriage is disintegrating. But although he vows that he will no longer investigate the subject of his book, Noah still has to follow up loose ends and new clues.

This book is a complex study of relationships and misunderstandings as well as the resolution of crimes committed in a supposedly quiet suburban neighbourhood. Writing his book has disturbed memories of Noah's past as well as the need to come to terms with what is really important in his life.
