'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir' CHRIS HAMMER 'The
equal of Joseph Wambaugh and James Lee Burke' - THE TIMES WHEN HATE
RUNS DEEP, THE INNOCENT SUFFER Constable Paul Hirschausen's rural
beat in the low hills of South Australia is wide. Daybreak to day's
end, dirt roads and dust. Every problem that besets small towns and
isolated properties, from unlicensed driving to arson. But now,
just as Hirsch has begun to feel he knows the fragile communities
under his care, the isolation and fear of the pandemic have warped
them into something angry and unrecognisable. Hirsch is seeing
stresses heightened and social divisions cracking wide open. His
own tolerance under strain; people getting close to the edge. Today
he's driving an international visitor around: Janne Van Sant, whose
backpacker son went missing while the borders were closed. They're
checking out his last photo site, his last employer. A feeling that
the stories don't quite add up. Then a call comes in: a roadside
fire. Nothing much - a suitcase soaked in diesel and set alight -
but two noteworthy facts emerge. Janne knows more than Hirsch about
forensic evidence. And the body in the suitcase is not her son's.
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation
comes a stunning new thriller, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian
Rankin and Chris Hammer.
