Critics Review

‘Another world-class crime novel from Peter Temple.’

‘Another world-class crime novel from Peter Temple.’ * Canberra Times *
‘Temple writes…with enough insight and passion to make the reader ask exactly where the boundary lies between genre fiction and serious literary fiction.’ * Sydney Morning Herald *
‘Temple is as dark and mean, as cool and as mesmerising, as any James Ellroy or Elmore Leonard with whom you might kill the small or sad hours.’ – Peter Craven * Age *
‘Temple’s work is spare, deeply ironic; his wit, like the local beer, as cold as a dental anaesthetic.’ – Graeme Blundell * Australian *
‘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 *
