Formerly a promising metropolitan detective, now hated and despised, hes been exiled to a one-cop station in South Australias wheatbelt. So when he heads up Bitter Wash Road to investigate gunfire and finds himself cut off without backup, there are two possibilities. Either hes found the fugitive killers thought to be in the area. Or his backup is about to put a bullet in him. Hes wrong on both counts. But Tiverton - with its stagnant economy, entrenched racism and rural isolation - has more crime than one constable can handle. And when the next call-out takes him to the body of a sixteen-year-old girl, its clear that whether or not Hirsch finds her killer, his past may well catch up with him.
