About
Constable Paul 'Hirsch' Hirschhausen is a recently demoted detective sent from Adelaide, Australia's southernmost booming metropolis, to Tiverton, a one-road town in rustic, backwater wool and wheat country three hours north. Hirsch is more than just a disgraced cop, a rumored whistle-blower - internal investigations is still trying to convict him of something, even if it means planting evidence, and someone has a bullet they'd like to put in his head.

"Disher has drawn both a vivid and visceral picture of a backblocks bush town, its inhabitants ground down by the stresses of isolation, hard work, and irregular, relentlessly shrinking incomes…The story pulls no punches."
Guardian (London)
"Trust me, mate: Readers will want to make a return visit to Disher's Australia."
Christian Science Monitor praise for the author
"Disher's eye for detail is acute and his poetic analogies precise…[Hell to Pay] continues the work of re-imagining the crime genre in a very Australian way, and does it beautifully."
