SANCTUARY
by Garry Disher
(Text, $40)
Garry Disher, the quiet king of Australian crime writing, returns with another absorbing tale, about a small-time thief looking for a normal life; the owner of a rural shop looking for safety; and the dangerous men looking for each of them. A rich, character-driven story, is an apt title – it’s what various characters crave. Grace is a woman of many names who’s used to passing through. She passes through cities and towns, through windows and locked houses, pilfering small, highly valuable items. An expert thief, she even passed 13(the sixth in his Challis and Destry series set on Mornington Peninsula).
