Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Pages are sunned.
When Hirsch heads up Bitter Wash Road to investigate gunfire, he finds himself cut off without backup. A pair of thrill killers has been targeting isolated farmhouses on lonely backroads, but Hirsch's first thought is that `back-up' is nearby and about to put a bullet in him.
That's because Hirsch is a whistleblower. Formerly a promising metropolitan officer, now demoted and exiled to a one-cop station in South Australia's wheatbelt. Called a dog by his brother officers. Threats; pistol cartridge in the mailbox. But the shots on Bitter Wash Road don't tally with Hirsch's assumptions.
The truth turns out to be a lot more mundane. And the events that unfold subsequently, are a hell of a lot more sinister. (back cover)
