A propos du livre

Revue de presse

Praise for Chain of Evidence

“Delightful . . . BUY IT.”
—New York Magazine  

“Disher is definitely not to be missed.”
—Globe and Mail

“Engrossing . . . Disher creates the kind of complex, edgy, principled yet flawed characters it’s a pleasure to worry about.”
—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

“The character development suggests Peter Robinson, with enough darkness and ambiguity to suit fans of Rankin, and a kind of which-way-is-up sense of the police force that recalls early James Elroy. Moody, inventive, and extremely hard to put down.”
—Booklist, Starred Review

“The story is full of unexpected twists and brilliant clues.”
—Library Journal, Starred Review
 
“Multilayered and multistranded, Chain of Evidence is written in vivid and uncompromising prose.”
—Sydney Morning Herald
 
“For lovers of police procedurals . . . you can’t do much better than Chain of Evidence.”
—Deadly Pleasures
 
“A compelling mix of procedural detail and action round out a fully credible plot and characters . . . A deeply satisfying read.”
—Publishers Weekly
Praise for the Hal Challis series

“A first-rate Australian author.”
—The New York Times Book Review

"This series boasts careful, realistic casework, but there’s enough darkness and ambiguity to suit John Harvey fans and a kind of which-way-is-up sense of the police force that recalls early James Ellroy. Moody, inventive, and extremely hard to put down."
—Booklist

“Garry Disher is an old favorite of mine, and it’s about time American readers got a shot at him.”
—Scott Phillips, author of Cottonwood and The Ice Harvest

Praise for the Hal Challis series:

“Garry Disher is an old favorite of mine, and it’s about time American readers got a shot at him.”—Scott Phillips, author of Cottonwood and The Ice Harvest

“A first-rate Australian author.”— The New York Times Book Review

Inspector Hal Challis has been summoned to Mawson’s Bluff, his childhood home in the Australian Outback, where his father is dying. Sergeant Ellen Destry is left to head an investigation into a ring of pedophiles that has descended on the peaceful Mornington Peninsula, a resort community near Melbourne. A little girl has been abducted from the fairgrounds at the annual Waterloo Show; it takes her mother twenty-four hours to report her missing. By then, hope is slim that the police will find the child before it is too late.

Challis’ sister’s difficult husband disappeared from the Bluff four years ago; since then Meg has received nuisance mail that she assumes comes from him. While Challis is in town, an extra buried body is discovered when a new grave is dug in the local graveyard. A black plastic bag containing the corpse of Meg’s husband is found on top of a coffin that was interred four years earlier.

With two very different crimes to solve, Challis and Destry have their work cut out for them.

Garry Disher is the author of more than forty books for children and adults. Two of his mysteries have won the German Crime Fiction Critics Prize. He lives near Melbourne in Australia.
