A must-read Australian rural crime novel, written by one of the masters of the genre.
Garry Disher has published fifty titles across multiple genres. His last standalone novel, Bitter Wash Road, won the 2016 German Crime Prize, a prize he has previously won twice. In 2018 he received the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award.
'Disher is the gold standard for rural noir.’
*Chris Hammer*
'There is no peace for a good man when the mercury rises, tempers
fray and violence simmers. This is a scorchingly good novel.’
*Michael Robotham*
‘Peace tells the story of a cop exiled to a wounded town in South
Australia’s dry country. In this brilliant novel Disher takes his
readers on a harrowing journey.’
*Jock Serong*
'I loved Peace. It is an an uplifting book, an utterly compelling
mystery with rare heart and humanity. If you enjoyed Jane Harper’s
The Lost Man, this novel is for you.’
*Dervla McTiernan*
‘Peter Temple and Garry Disher will be identified as the crime
writers who redefined Australian crime fiction in terms of its
form, content and style.’
*Sydney Morning Herald*
‘Mark Peace down as one to look out for, and if you have not
already done so, give Bitter Wash Road a read, you won’t be
disappointed.’
*Jeff Popple*
'The cast of Peace is strong and the local colour is as vivid as
ever. Disher was portraying the harshness of the Australian
landscape long before Jane Harper's The Dry ignited a new wave of
Australian crime fiction, and fans of her work, and Chris Hammer's
Scrublands, will find much to enjoy here. Disher provides the
complete mystery package: unobtrusively slick detection, plenty of
surprises and mounting thrills, with a protagonist that
demonstrates a remarkable level of humanity.’
*Books+Publishing*
‘Peace is marvellous, and Garry Disher, as always, is in
award-winning form, creating a town so vivid and hot you could
swelter just reading it – and you’d look askance at everybody you
pass on the street.’
*Readings*
‘Disher is a master of crime and this has to be one of the most
enjoyable books I’ve read in a while.’
*Mark Rubbo, Readings*
‘If you love Aussie rural noir, this one’s for you.’
*New Idea*
‘A thrilling mystery with plenty of surprises.’
*2SER Tuesday Book Club*
’There is very little peace in this gripping country cop
procedural.’
*David Astle*
‘Peace is rural noir at its best.’
*Canberra Times*
‘This is one cracker of a book and there will be little peace until
you turn the final page.’
*Weekly Times*
‘Peace is a very impressive piece of crime fiction. There has been
a lot of fuss about Australian rural noir in recent years, but few,
if any, do it better than Disher.’
*Canberra Weekly*
‘Garry Disher shows why he’s the master...A novel of sweat-inducing
authenticity.’
*NZ Listener*
’A very, very good novel.’
*RN Bookshelf*
