![Peace by [Disher, Garry]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41OOKSv65%2BL._SY346_.jpg)
Gary Disher does not disappoint. Peace has a tightly controlled, credible plot. Characters are well developed, defined and believable. The geographical sense of place is almost akin to another character and evocative of the Australian bush.
A thoroughly riveting read, highly recommended.
Now I have to wait for more Hirsch yarns, along with the Bellarine peninsula stories.
I envy those who have not yet experienced Gary Disher, you're in for a fine time.
Book Description
A must-read Australian rural crime novel, written by one of the masters of the genre.
Product Description
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 the community work—welfare checks and working bees—is starting to pay off. Now Christmas is here and, apart from a grass fire, two boys stealing a ute 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 a strange, vicious incident in Kitchener Street. And Sydney police ask him to look in on a family living outside town on a forgotten back road.
Suddenly, it doesn’t look like a season of goodwill at all.
'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir.’ Chris Hammer
'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
‘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
'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
‘Peter Temple and Garry Disher will be identified as the crime writers who redefined Australian crime fiction in terms of its form, content and style.’ Sydney Morning Herald
