    Hirsch’s rural beat is wide. Daybreak to day’s end, dirt roads and dust. Every problem that besets small towns and isolated properties, from unlicensed driving to arson. In the time of the virus, Hirsch is seeing stresses heightened and social divisions cracking wide open. His own tolerance under strain; people getting close to the edge. 
     
    Today he’s driving an international visitor around: Janne Van Sant, whose backpacker son went missing while the borders were closed. They’re checking out his last photo site, his last employer. A feeling that the stories don’t quite add up. 
     
    Then a call comes in: a roadside fire. Nothing much—a suitcase soaked in diesel and set alight. But two noteworthy facts emerge. Janne knows more than Hirsch about forensic evidence. And the body in the suitcase is not her son’s. 
     
    ‘Disher is the gold standard for rural noir.’ CHRIS HAMMER 
     
    ‘This is storytelling at its best… Another sophisticated and compelling offer from an author at the peak of his powers.’ GOOD READING

Compelled to continue the work left behind by his former caretaker, Dr. Holston, Griffin must decide who he can trust. But in a fractured landscape on the verge of war, how can Griffin be sure who is friend and who is enemy?
