Publisher's Summary

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.

Good Story, well narrated

Good storyline, I didn't guess the ending which is always a plus. Narrative was great and not over dramatic. Thoroughly enjoyable story and I am happy to recommend it.

Small town secrets.

Found the initial drawl of the narrator a little irritatingly slow to start with, but once the story started to unfold the narration picked up pace. one the whole enjoyed the story.

Great story. Gripping

What a wonderful story, well written and compelling. You can feel the main character’s flaws and strengths. Brilliantly narrated.

A gripping story

At least two crime solutions were surprising
Very hard to put down. I am really enjoying Garry Disher’s books and the narration.

Really enjoyed listening

A great story. Another binge listen. Knowing the area I’m easily visualising the country and abandoned ruins.
Particularly intriguing was the early settlers journals and the rock paintings. Makes me want to jump in the car and go adventuring.
Thank you ❤️
