Australia's favourite country cop, Hirsch, is back in this new edition of Consolation, the follow-up to Peace and Bitter Wash Road.
Garry Disher has published over fifty titles across multiple genres. With a growing international reputation for his best-selling crime novels, he has won four German and three Australian awards for best crime novel of the year, and been longlisted twice for a British CWA Dagger award. In 2018 he received the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award.
'Consolation is a very impressive piece of crime fiction. It holds
attention, impresses with its depth and raises important issues,
while being very entertaining. It once more confirms Disher’s place
as the master of outback noir.’
*Murder, Mayhem and Long Dogs*
'Well written and very entertaining, Consolation cements Disher’s
place as the master of outback noir.’
*Canberra Weekly*
‘Garry Disher may not have quite the same level of name recognition
as fellow bestselling Australian rural noir writers such as Jane
Harper and Chris Hammer, but he has long been one of the genre’s
best.’
*Weekend West*
‘There are few better explorers of Australia’s rural heart in any
genre than Garry Disher.’
*Pile by the Bed*
'Garry Disher's novels are an essential and influential part of
Australian crime fiction.’
*Radio National*
’Sheer class.’
*Age*
'This is a book that cannot be praised enough… Read it.’
*Herald Sun*
‘The outback noir master returns to Tiverton and it’s only cop Paul
‘Hirsch’ Hirschhausen.’
*NZ Listener*
'Rural noir has really become the new big thing in Australian crime
fiction, and a lot of the credit for that has to go to Garry
Disher. He comes from this world, he knows it, and he writes with
great empathy for the people who live there and the way the rhythms
of nature affect every single aspect of life. His ability to draw
vivid word pictures, and his willingness to trust his readers to
interpret them – and the things he leaves unsaid – put his books
head and shoulders above the pack.’
*Newtown Review of Books*
