CONSOLATION
CONSOLATION takes us back to the hardscrabble landscape in South Australia's dry country that was previously patrolled by Constable Paul Hirschhausen in Garry Disher's bestselling novel PEACE.
Winter in Tiverton. Constable Paul Hirschhausen has a snowdropper on his patch. Someone is stealing women's underwear, and Hirsch knows enough about that kind of crimehow it can escalatenot to take it lightly.
But the more immediate concerns are a call from the high school, a teacher worried about a student who may be in danger at home. Another call, a different school: a man enraged about the principal's treatment of his daughter.
A little girl in harm's way and an elderly woman in danger. An absent father who isn't where he's supposed to be; another who flees to the back country armed with a rifle. Families under pressure. And the cold, seeping feeling that something is very, very wrong.
Garry Disher is the author of more than fifty titles and has won numerous awards, including the German Crime Prize (twice) and the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction (twice). In 2018, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Ned Kelly Awards.
