Synopsis
Winner of the CWA Duncan Lawrie Dagger Award
A Booklist Best Crime Novel of the Year
Shaken by a recent scrape with death, big-city detective Joe Cashin is posted to a quiet town in on the Australian coast. But soon the whole community is thrown into unrest by the murder of a local philanthropist, a man with some very disturbing secrets. The Broken Shore is a brilliantly intricate crime procedural, and a moving novel about a place, a family, politics, and power.
The New York Times - Marilyn Stasio
Along with giving us mournful scenes of civilization s slow encroachment on an idyllic countryside, Temple offers some provocative and painful views of Australia s inner landscape.
