Summary
Hirsch's rural beat is wide. Daybreak to day's end, dirt roads and dust. Every problem that besets small towns and isolated properties, from unlicensed driving to arson. In the time of the virus, Hirsch is seeing stresses heightened and social divisions cracking wide open. His own tolerance under strain; people getting close to the edge.
Today he's driving an international visitor around: Janne Van Sant, whose backpacker son went missing while the borders were closed. They're checking out his last photo site, his last employer. A feeling that the stories don't quite add up.
Then a call comes in: a roadside fire. Nothing much—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.

Most ambitious subject matter, but curiously disappointing ending
Still Garry Disher is brilliant at plotting, satisfying at procedural stuff, and writes so well - not a cliché in sight. Though that sounds like a cliché!
The racism story was brave and ambitious, and sensitively handled. Just a shame the book felt like it ended a chapter/epilogue too soon.
Even at less than his best, Garry Disher’s Hirsh is better than most living authors of all genres.

Not for me
Too many characters and skipping around. I like Aussie writers but not this one. Think it’s me!

The sublime combo of Disher and Shanahan
Another brilliant Paul Hirschhausen mystery. Beautifully written, bleak subject matter, tremendous sense of place. And the greatest narrator - Steve Shanahan. Bravo.

Another great listen
This is the 4th book in this series and as good as the previous three. Great narration and interesting subject matter of a modern Australia with crimes sadly all too relevant in our world. Look forward to the next book in this series.

Ok but not great
I like the character of Hirsch but this book was less engaging than the previous novels; somehow the plot never got going and although it was well narrated, I found it a bit disappointing.

Awful
Awful woke propaganda. Very disappointing and it has ruined the series for me. There was no real plot, just random stories which were made to fit around a disturbing narrative.
