Description

"Byzantine plot twists and incisively drawn characters combine" to make this Australian crime novel from an award-winning author "an unforgettable read" (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

The Broken Shore, Peter Temple's award-winning eighth novel revolves around big-city detective Joe Cashin. Shaken by a scrape with death, he's posted away from the Homicide Squad to a small town on the South Australian coast where he grew up. Carrying physical scars and more than a little guilt, he spends his time playing the country cop, walking his dogs, and thinking about how it all was before. But when a prominent local is attacked in his own home and left for dead, Cashin is thrust into what becomes a murder investigation. The evidence points to three teenagers from the nearby aboriginal community -- everyone seems to want to blame them. Cashin is unconvinced, and soon begins to see the outlines of something far more terrible than a burglary gone wrong.

"A deeply intelligent thriller." -- Booklist, starred review

"Peter Temple's moody prose is far too satisfying... brilliant." -- The Globe and Mail

"The Broken Shore by Peter Temple is a great discovery... I was fully taken by this book." -- Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Waiting

"A towering achievement... seldom has a waltz of the damned proven so hypnotic. Indispensable." -- The Guardian (UK)
