'A superb chronicler of cop culture' - SUNDAY TIMES
'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir' - CHRIS HAMMER
'The equal of Joseph Wambaugh and James Lee Burke' - THE TIMES
EVERY MAN HAS A BREAKING POINT
Calm never lasts on the Mornington Peninsula, especially for Detective Inspector Hal Challis. Today, he's dealing with a serial armed robber, a brutal home invasion and a mysterious cat burglar, not to mention the offender disguised in a police uniform stalking his beat.
But with Sergeant Ellen Destry away, a boss who's more committed to budget cuts than police work, and a team that struggle to separate personal lives from professional duties, one more case could be enough to push Challis to breaking point.
From the multiple Ned Kelly Award-winning author of Consolation and Sanctuary comes the sixth Hal Challis investigation, for readers of Jane Harper, Ian Rankin and Chris Hammer.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
A world-class police novel and Disher continues to be one of our best and most consistent crime novelists * Canberra Times * Disher's layered plotlines, peppered with familiar Mornington Peninsula references, make this an engaging yet unsettling read * Sunday Herald Sun * This is classic Disher, the taut writing bringing a complex plot into as sharp relief as the vivid settings and dread-laden atmosphere do the fully rounded characters * West Australian * This very fine novel submits to the thriller conventions but with an easy freedom that makes it seem as if Disher made the rules himself... A compulsive and unsettling novel that should win Disher many new readers * Sunday Age * Disher doesn't just provide classy entertainment. His fiction is a kind of social barometer of prevailing tensions in the community, especially in the outlying badlands of Australia's provincial coastal towns * Weekend Australian * DI Challis and his sergeant Ellen Destry...are both deftly, yet complexly drawn characters: two of the best in the genre and Disher easily one of the best writers * Weekend Herald *
