About the Books
Garry Disher is one of Australia's most respected crime writers, celebrated for his ability to blend procedural detail with deep character study across a long and varied career. This collection showcases his range across different styles of crime fiction. Under the Cold Bright Lights introduces retired detective Alan Auhl, who is called back to review unsolved cold cases in Adelaide, unraveling long-buried secrets with patience and cunning while navigating the politics of a busy police unit. The Way It Is Now follows a suspended police officer determined to clear his own name and uncover the truth behind his mother's unsolved disappearance years earlier, forcing him to confront his own family's fractured history and the secrets his coastal community has kept for decades. Sanctuary is an earlier work from Disher that reflects his talent for tightly plotted suspense and morally complex characters navigating dangerous, high-stakes situations. Together, these three novels highlight Disher's consistent strengths: believable dialogue, richly drawn Australian settings, and plots that reward careful, attentive readers. Each book stands on its own, so readers can enjoy them in any order, making this an ideal starter set for anyone new to Disher's work or a welcome addition for existing fans looking to round out their collection.
