Garry Disher

In the latest instalment in his Hirsch series, Garry Disher reminds us why he’s the master of rural noir. Knotty plots, compelling characters and a dark mirror held to the Australian psyche make Day’s End a ruthlessly contemporary and timelessly atmospheric crime novel for lovers of hard-boiled fiction.

Candice Fox has made an international name for herself as one of Australia’s most adventurous thriller writers. In Fire with Fire, she explores the psychology of vigilantism, with the frustrated parents of a missing girl taking matters into their own hands in a page-turning yarn of law and morality.
