Reviews
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
