HE DISAPPEARED FOR 15 YEARS...SHE HAS 12 HOURS TO FIND OUT WHY.
After a puzzling death in the wild bushlands of Australia, detective Dana Russo has just hours to interrogate the prime suspect - a silent, inscrutable man found at the scene of the crime, who disappeared without trace 15 years earlier.
But where has he been? Why won't he talk? And exactly how dangerous is he? Without conclusive evidence to prove his guilt, Dana faces a desperate race against time to persuade him to speak. But as each interview spirals with fevered intensity, Dana must reckon with her own traumatic past to reveal the shocking truth . . .
Compulsive, atmospheric and stunningly accomplished, HERMIT introduces a thrilling new voice in Australian crime fiction, perfect for fans of Jane Harper and Chris Hammer.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
When we’re introduced to Detective Dana Russo, she’s already at breaking point. But she pulls herself back from the brink to conduct a tense interrogation on her day off after a shop owner is fatally stabbed in a small Australian town. The brutal slaying draws Dana into the most difficult case of her career, and author S.R. White nails all the crucial beats of a great outback mystery in his crime debut. He has since written several more instalments starring Dana, whose own personal desperation informs her exacting quest for the truth. Narrated with a compassionate tone by Helen Walsh, this audiobook quickly brings us into the wide open yet secret world of Hermit. There’s also a memorable supporting cast of characters on hand to bolster the primary storyline.
