This is the fourth Jack Irish thriller, and the third one in the series to win a Ned Kelly Award for Crime Fiction.
Jack Irish-gambler, cook and cabinetmaker, finder of people who don't want to be found-has a new job, hunting for evidence that might save the beautiful sculptor Sarah Longmore from a murder rap. Jack soon discovers there was nothing straightforward about Mickey Franklin's death, and falls headlong into a world of shady deals, sexual secrets and country rednecks.
Peter Temple is the author of nine novels, including four books in the Jack Irish series. He has won the Ned Kelly Award for Crime Fiction five times, and his widely acclaimed novels have been published in over twenty countries. The Broken Shore won the UK’s prestigious Duncan Lawrie Dagger for the best crime novel of 2007 and Truth won the 2010 Miles Franklin Literary Award, the first time a crime writer has won an award of this calibre anywhere in the world. Temple’s Jack Irish series has been made into films with Guy Pearce starring as Jack Irish.

From the Publisher
'Peter Temple? Only one of the world's better novelists. But unknown to most American readers largely because he lives in Australia...Temple's characters are complex, his plots complicated, his world smudged if not outright dirty - that is, his books are entirely credible.'- HeadButler.com ‘Without being overly dismissive of the carefully worked plots, the beatings and killings are really just excuses for the cooking and woodworking; that is to say, Temple himself is a master craftsman, and there is as much pleasure to be had in watching Irish make a moody meal on a rainy night as there is in watching him end up on the wrong end of a beating. And not to give the violence short shrift, either: Temple gives his protagonist as convincing a beating as you’re likely to find in crime fiction, and the breathless, terrifying ending provides top-notch suspense with Jack in a desperate fight for his life.’- Booklist
