Truth by Peter Temple

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Truth is a novel about a man, a family, and a city. It is about violence, murder, love, corruption, honour and deceit. And it is about the search for truth.

At the close of a long day, Inspector Stephen Villani stands in the bathroom of a luxury apartment high above the city. A young woman lies dead in the glass bath, a panic button within reach. So begins 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. But now, over a few sweltering summer days, as fires burn across the state and his superiors and colleagues scheme and jostle, he finds all the certainties of his life are crumbling. (back cover)
