"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." -
