        Consolation

        by Garry Disher

        Consolation is the new novel by Garry Disher, the celebrated, bestselling author of Peace, and one of Australia’s greatest crime writers.   It’s winter in Tiverton. After the fires of the previous summer, the rains have come at last. There are green shoots in the paddocks and snow on the Razorback—and Constable Paul Hirschhausen has his hands full, with a child in danger at home and a father on the rampage over at the primary school.   Hirsch knows how quickly problems like these can escalate, when families are under pressure and financial problems become overwhelming. But it’s always a surprise when the killing starts.   Bestselling crime writer Garry Disher is a master of the form. Consolation takes us back to the world of Bitter Wash Road and Peace, the hardscrabble landscape in South Australia’s dry country patrolled by Constable Paul Hirschhausen.

        The Missing

        by Dirk Kurbjuweit, translated by Imogen Taylor

        Based on the deeds of the most notorious serial killer in German history, Dirk Kurbjuweit’s The Missing is a sophisticated exploration of the relationship between crime, politics and society in a world in which anything seems possible.   Hanover, Germany, in the 1920s—the heady days of the Weimar Republic, of clashes between the police and political radicals, while the firebrand demagogue Adolf Hitler languishes in prison. A time of brutality and passion, of traumatised souls and attacks on democracy—and of grisly crime.   Boys are disappearing from the streets of Hanover, one by one. Every day new and gruesome rumours take wing. It’s as if the missing have vanished from the face of the earth, leaving no trace.   Detective Inspector Robert Lahnstein is assigned to the case, and is soon convinced that he is on the trail of a psychopath. Lahnstein knows he needs a new victim to lead him to the killer but he dreads the day when news will reach him of another lost boy.   The Missing is that rare book: a breathtaking thriller that also provides a complex social portrait of a fabled time. Dirk Kurbjuweit not only looks into the dark heart of a murderer but of an entire society.

        A Million Things

        by Emily Spurr

        Rae is ten years old, and she’s tough. She’s had to be: life with her mother has taught her the world is not her friend. Now something has happened and her mum is gone and Rae is alone except for her dog, Splinter.   Rae can do a lot of things pretty well for a kid. She can shop and cook—a little—and take care of Splinter and keep the front yard neat enough that the neighbours won’t get curious. But she is gnawed at by shadows, anxieties that she cannot put into words.   With Lettie, the old woman who lives next door, the words are not the problem. Lettie’s problem is a house full of objects that can’t make up for the things she has lost.   Their friendship gives them both an escape, but how long can it last?

        The Beautiful Fall

        by Hugh Breakey

        Every 179 days Robbie’s memory resets. He knows this because he told himself in the letter he found after his last forgetting. To survive his recurring amnesia, Robbie leads a life that’s solitary and regimented. Alone in his apartment, he works to complete a bizarre, herculean task bequeathed to him by his former self.   And then, with twelve days left before his next forgetting, Julie invades his life. Who is this aloof and beautiful young woman, who clearly has plans of her own?   As the hour draws near, Robbie is forced to confront the fact that his past is very different from how he had imagined it. When Julie reveals her own terrible secret, he must come to terms with the truth about his own identity and their shared history.   Is he about to lose everything all over again?   The Beautiful Fall is a cinematic, page-turning romance. It’s both an intellectual puzzle and a compulsively readable love story.

        The Bride of Almond Tree

        by Robert Hillman

        Robert Hillman’s previous novel, The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted, captivated readers around the world.   His new novel is also a story about unlikely love. World War II is over and Hiroshima lies in a heap of poisoned rubble when young Quaker Wesley Cunningham returns home to the village of Almond Tree. He served as a stretcher-bearer and has seen his fair share of horror. Now he intends to build beautiful houses and to marry, having fallen in love with his neighbour Beth Hardy.   Beth has other plans. An ardent Communist, she is convinced that the Party and Stalin’s Soviet Union hold the answers to all the world’s evils. She doesn’t believe in marriage; in any case, her devotion is to the cause.   Beth’s ideals will exact a ruinously high price. But Wes will not stop loving her. This is the story of their journey through the catastrophic mid-twentieth century—from summer in Almond Tree to Moscow’s bitter winter and back again—to find a way of being together.   The Bride of Almond Tree is a book of great loves and difficult choices.

Now they live in Sydney and are estranged. Each in her own way struggles with the loss of their parents.   Little by little the sisters grow to understand the imaginative force of the past and the legacy of their shared orphanhood. Then Frances decides to make a journey home to the goldfields to explore what lies hidden and unspoken in their lives, in the shadowy tunnels of the past.
