Mischance Creek by Garry Disher

JMischance Creek is another addition to the Hirsch series. Set against the stark backdrop of a drought-stricken mid-north, Hirsch is drawn from routine gun audits into something far more dangerous, a cold case. 

When Annika Nordrum arrives searching for the truth about her mother’s disappearance seven years earlier, Hirsch finds himself caught between duty, compassion, and the shadows of a past investigation gone cold. Tense, atmospheric, and utterly compelling, Mischance Creek proves once again why Disher is one of Australia’s finest crime writers.
