From an award-winning crime novelist, "a brutal tale of corruption, greed, and revenge... and one man's determination to uncover the truth" (
Publishers Weekly).
Inspector Stephen Villani, head of homicide in Melbourne, Australia, has a full agenda: a murdered woman in a penthouse apartment, three men butchered in a sadistic rampage, a tattoo-faced drug dealer corrupting his rebellious daughter, a crumbling marriage. As these seemingly unrelated events begin to unfold, Villani finds himself immersed in an unfamiliar world of political scandal and ethical ambiguity. He must navigate the inept bureaucracy that is the police department, all the while maintaining a solid front and trying to keep the press, his family, and his own past from breaking him completely. With each twist and every turn of this taut crime novel, Villani is forced to question whom he can trust.
While Peter Temple's award-winning
The Broken Shore captured the harshness and beauty of regional Australia,
Truth captures the grim reality of the city and the people who struggle to hold on to any certainty that they can find. Tense and unrelenting, this unforgettable novel confronts the complexity of human relationships and the difficulty of escaping the past.
"Raw and visceral-yet desperately poignant and affecting." -Kate Atkinson, Whitbread Award-winning author of
Case Histories
"A fascinating crime puzzle." -Thomas Perry, Edgar Award-winning author of
Runner
"Complex and powerful.... Villani is an unforgettable protagonist." -
