Exiled to a one-man police station in rural South Australia following accusations of whistleblowing, Constable Paul ‘Hirsch’ Hirschhausen spends his days performing welfare checks and attending to small local offences. The harsh and dry Australian landscape is the backdrop for the drama unfolding within the rural community and with Christmas approaching, the mood is far from joyous and cheerful. In Peace, author Garry Disher manages to deliver a thrilling mystery with plenty of surprises.
