Paul Hirschhausen

Questa serie segue un detective caduto in disgrazia, esiliato in un avamposto remoto dopo essere stato etichettato come whistleblower. Costretto ad affrontare la corruzione, le vendette personali e i oscuri segreti di una comunità isolata, si ritrova coinvolto in casi sempre più pericolosi. Ogni indagine lo spinge al limite, sfidando la sua integrità e la sua stessa sopravvivenza. È un'avvincente saga poliziesca che esplora temi di giustizia, redenzione e la natura pervasiva del peccato in luoghi apparentemente tranquilli.

    When Hirsch heads up Bitter Wash Road to investigate the gunfire he finds himself cut off without back-up. A pair of thrill killers has been targeting isolated farmhouses on lonely backroads, but Hirsch's first thought is that 'back-up' is nearby - and about to put a bullet in him. That's because Hirsch is a whistleblower. Formerly a promising metropolitan officer, now demoted and exiled to a one-cop station in South Australia's wheatbelt. Called a dog by his brother officers. Threats; pistol cartridge in the mailbox. But the shots on Bitter Wash Road don't tally with Hirsch's assumptions. The truth turns out to be a lot more mundane. And the events that unfold subsequently, a hell of a lot more sinister.

    '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... 'In this brilliant novel, Disher takes his readers on a harrowing journey' JOCK SERONG 'There has been a lot of fuss about Australian rural noir in recent years, but few, if any, do it better than Disher' Canberra Weekly 'Peter Temple and Garry Disher will be identified as the crime writers who redefined Australian crime fiction' Sydney Morning Herald

  3. 3

    Winter in Tiverton, and Constable Paul Hirschhausen has a snowdropper on his patch. Someone is stealing women's underwear, and Hirsch knows how that kind of crime can escalate. Then two calls come in: a child abandoned in a caravan, filthy and starving. And a man on the rampage at the primary school. Hirsch knows how things like that can escalate, too. 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 can break. But it's always a surprise when the killing starts.
