Život v Melbourne není lehký – obzvlášť když se člověk pokouší splácet dluhy sázením na dostizích, snaží se vlastníma rukama vyrobit v truhlářské dílně stůl a v australském fotbalu fandí klubu, jenž prakticky nevyhrává a jehož největší hvězdou byl kdysi jeho otec. Otec, kterého zbožňují fotbaloví pamětníci z jeho oblíbené hospody. Když se s Jackem Irishem snaží spojit jeden z jeho bývalých známých, Jack nejdříve netuší, o koho jde.

See You at the Toxteth

Temple died on 8 March 2018, aged seventy-one. Peter Corris was more prolific, writing a staggering eighty-eight books across his career, including historical fiction, biography, sport, and Pacific history.

Obituaries for March 24, 2018
Today we pay tribute to an Australian great in jazz, a South African who turned Australian crime fiction into literature, and the last of Britain’s musical hall stars.

‘Truth’ by Peter Temple
Fiction – paperback; Quercus Publishing; 400 pages; 2010. When I reviewed Peter Temple’s The Broken Shore in 2007 I described it as a “refreshing take on crime fiction, both in setting and style”. So when his follow-up to that novel, Truth, won the Miles Franklin Award in 2009 I wasn’t too caught up in the hype about it being the first crime novel to win such a prestigious literary prize. I suspected that it probably had strong literary leanings. I was right. Two killings — are they linked?
Truth, book by Peter Temple
At the close of a long day, Inspector Stephen Villani stands in the bathroom of a luxury apartment high above the city. In the glass bath, a young woman lies dead, a panic button within reach. So begins Truth, the sequel to Peter Temple’s bestselling masterpiece, The Broken Shore, winner of the Gold Dagger for Best Crime Novel. Villani’s life is his work. It is his identity, his calling, his touchstone.
The Broken Shore, book by Peter Temple
Joe Cashin was different once. He moved easily then; was surer and less thoughtful. But there are consequences when you’ve come so close to dying. For Cashin, they included a posting away from the world of Homicide to the quiet place on the coast where he grew up. Now all he has to do is play the country cop and walk the dogs. And sometimes think about how he was before. Then prominent local Charles Bourgoyne is bashed and left for dead.
‘The Broken Shore’ by Peter Temple
Fiction – paperback; Quercus; 400 pages; 2007. Crime novels set in modern day Australia are few and far between. In fact, I’ve never read one before. But then I heard lots of good things, mainly from British critics, about Peter Temple’s The Broken Shore and knew it was a book I had to track down. I picked up a cheap copy from Waterstone’s earlier in the year and read it over the course of a dismal weekend in June. The book was absolutely enthralling in a way I could not put my finger on.
