The third novel in the Jack Irish series won the 2000 Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel, and has earned its place as a modern Australian crime classic.
Peter Temple is widely regarded as one of Australia's finest
writers, and his novels have been published in twenty countries.
During his lifetime he worked extensively as a journalist and
editor, before teaching editing and media studies at a number of
universities. His novels, among them the Jack Irish series, Truth,
The Broken Shore and An Iron Rose, are celebrated as some of the
best crime writing in English.
Temple died in March 2018.
‘Another world-class crime novel from Peter Temple.’
*Canberra Times*
‘It’s clever, funny, exciting and exceedingly well written. The
author weaves multi layers of plot, life, characters and emotions
into an exceedingly satisfying narrative that grips from first to
last page. If you haven’t yet discovered Temple, track down his
books. He’s premier class.’
*Daily Examiner UK*
‘Temple’s ear for dialogue and the vernacular was quite
something—and had him compared to the masterful Detroit-native
Elmore Leonard.’
*NZ Metro*
