An Iron Rose by Peter Temple
When Mac Faraday's best friend is found hanging, the assumption is suicide. But Mac is far from convinced, and he's a man who has learnt never to accept things at face value. A regular at the local pub, a mainstay of the footy team, Mac is living the quiet life of a country blacksmith - a life connected to a place, connected to its people. But Mac carries a burden of fear and vigilance from his old life. And as this past of secrets, corruption, abuse and murder begins to close in, he must turn to long-forgotten resources to hang on to everything he holds dear, including his own life.
