Dead Point

By Peter Temple

Book Overview

"One of the world's finest crime writers."--Times

"World-class."--The Washington Post

"Readers might be tempted to slow down and savor the prose if the plot line weren't so compelling."--LibraryJournal.com

"Temple's characters are complex, his plots complicated, his world smudged if not outright dirty - that is, his books are entirely credible." -HeadButler.com

"Peter Temple? Only one of the world's better novelists. But unknown to most American readers largely because he lives in Australia." -HeadButler.com

The woman in Jack Irish's life has reconnected with an old flame, and Jack's mind is not fully on the job he's being paid to do: find Robbie Colburn. But when he does get serious, Jack finds his target is of great interest to some powerful people, with some very bad habits and little respect for the criminal justice system.

Winner of multiple international literary awards, Peter Temple lives in Victoria, Australia.
