PEACE

Garry Disher

Constable Paul Hirschhausen runs a one-man police station in the dry farming country north of Adelaide. He's still new in town and dealing with the usual hiccupsa grass fire, two boys stealing a ute, and Brenda Flann entering the front bar of the pub without exiting her car. It's almost Christmas, and he is looking forward to a few days with his girlfriend, Wendy.

Then he's called to a strange, vicious incident in Kitchener Street. And Sydney police ask him to look in on a family living on a forgotten back road outside town.

Suddenly, it doesn't look like a season of goodwill at all.

Garry Disher grew up in South Australia and now lives on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula. He has won numerous awards, including the German Crime Prize (twice) and the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Fiction in 2007 and 2010. In 2018, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Ned Kelly Awards.

Comments

"A skilful and evocative tale, set against the hard-scrabble landscape of South Australia Disher is the gold standard for rural noir." Chris Hammer, author of Scrublands "I loved Peace. It is an an uplifting book, an utterly compelling mystery with rare heart and humanity. If you enjoyed Jane Harper's The Lost Man, this novel is for you." Dervla McTiernan, author of The Ruin "There is no peace for a good man when the mercury rises, tempers fray and violence simmers. This is a scorchingly good novel." Michael Robotham, author of The Other Wife "Peace tells the story of a cop exiled to a wounded town in South Australia's dry country. In this brilliant novel Disher takes his readers on a harrowing journey." Jock Serong, author of Preservation
