Pick up a copy of the latest Australian Financial Review Magazine, and you’ll see Simon Hughes has named Peter Temple’s astounding novel Truth Book of the Year. We commend him on his choice, and we know him to be a most discerning man of impeccable taste.

Truth is the highly anticipated sequel to Temple’s award-winning The Broken Shore. Compelling and powerful, it will stay with you for a long long time. It’s Temple’s best yet.

Give it this Christmas in paperback or a very gifty hardcover to someone who loves good books.

‘Sparse, violent and humming with tension, Truth is about one man’s search for honour in a world where it’s in short supply. Temple is a master.’ Michael Robotham

‘If you only read one crime novel this year, make it Peter Temple’s Truth. Hell, if you only read one novel this year, make it Peter Temple’s Truth.’ Val McDermid
