Description
Day's End is the next in the Australian rural crime series by critically acclaimed author Garry Disher, featuring beloved local copper Hirsch.
Hirsch's rural beat is wide. From daybreak to day's end, he navigates dirt roads and dust, tackling every problem that troubles small towns and isolated properties, from unlicensed driving to arson. In the time of the virus, Hirsch witnesses heightened stresses and social divisions cracking wide open. His own tolerance is under strain, with people getting dangerously close to the edge.
Today, he's driving an international visitor, Janne Van Sant, whose backpacker son went missing while the borders were closed. They're inspecting his last photo site and his last employer, with a nagging feeling that the stories don't quite add up.
Then a call comes in about a roadside fire. Nothing much at first glance—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.
