For decades, [Garry Disher] has been quietly working away, writing his polished, masterful crime novels in the shadows... It has been the slowest of slow burns: three decades of intricate plotting and accomplished, fully realised work before he could claim his rightful place as a bestselling novelist with the publication of his 2019 novel, Peace.
He's the crime writer's crime writer... He's incredibly influential... He's always been a brilliant writer. He's certainly in the same league as Peter Temple and Peter Corris.
Before the world discovered that the Australian landscape could be as captivatingly harsh, moody and threatening as the people who populate it... Disher says there was a kind of cultural cringe that if it is Australian it can't be good enough and if it is crime it is therefore junk fiction.
