WHITE DOG
A Jack Irish Thriller
Jack Irish novels:
BAD DEBTS (1996) - BLACK TIDE (1999) - DEAD POINT (2000) - WHITE DOG (2003)
WHITE DOG:
Mickey Frances was funny and clever but there was always something dangerous about him. Now he's been shot five times and a pixie-faced sculptor named Sarah Longmore has been charged with his murder. Jack Irish, sometime lawyer, gambler, cabinet maker and finder of people who want to stay missing, gets the job of hunting for clues that might save her. In a rainy autumn, with Jack's old flame Linda Hillier on a plane to London, the Saints about to front another season and legendary former jockey Harry Strang in pursuit of a dark horse, it's a tricky task. As Jack struggles to understand the strange events that led to Mickey's death, he comes to realise he has entered a world of shady deals and sexual secrets where all the evidence can be bought, and violent death is a commodity. Should he walk away? Then someone takes the decision out of his hands. - Temple is as dark and mean, as cool and as mesmerising, as any James Ellroy or Elmore Leonard.' (Age) -- Born in 1946, Peter Temple has won the Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel three times, more than any other writer. He worked as a journalist, editor and lecturer before he published his highly acclaimed debut novel "Bad Debts" in 1996, where he introduced his most famous character, Jack Irish. He has published two more Jack Irish novels "Black Tide" and "Dead Point" and his other thrillers include "An Iron Rose", "Shooting Star" and "In the Evil Day".
