About this ebook
*** LONGLISTED FOR THE CWA GOLD DAGGER AWARD ***
*** A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME PICK OF THE MONTH ***
'A scorchingly good novel' - MICHAEL ROBOTHAM
'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir' - CHRIS HAMMER
'An utterly compelling mystery with rare heart and humanity' - DERVLA MCTIERNAN
________________________________________
AN ACT OF INEXPLICABLE CRUELTY. A FAMILY DESTROYED.
Constable Paul Hirschhausen runs a one-cop station in the dry farming country south of the Flinders Ranges. He's still new in town but his community work - welfare checks and a light touch - is starting to pay off. Now Christmas is here and, apart from a grass fire, two boys stealing a vehicle, and Brenda Flann entering the front bar of the pub without exiting her car, Hirsch's life has been peaceful.
Until he's called to an incident on Kitchener Street, a strange and vicious attack that sickens the community. And when the Sydney police ask him to look in on a family living on a forgotten back road, it doesn't look like a season of goodwill at all...
A hugely atmospheric police procedural set in the dust of the Australian outback. Perfect for readers of Jane Harper, Chris Hammer and Dervla McTiernan.
