In the Evil Day by Peter Temple
The Cold War is long dead but the trade in deceit and lies is still running hot. Caroline Wishart calls herself an expose journalist. Her speciality is the sex lives of politicians. The story she has stumbled on could make her career - or is she playing somebody else's name?
'Temple is as dark and as mean, as cool and as mesmerising, as any James Ellroy or Elmore Leonard' Age "Discovering Peter Temple has been the highlight of my year." Mark Billingham "A towering achievement. Indispensible." Maxim Jakubowski, The Guardian "Put simply, Temple is a master" John Harvey 'Sharp, smart, and with a little bit o' lovin' thrown in for good measure, this will grip you from beginning to end.' Time Out 'In the Evil Day combines the sparse, precise and frankly killer prose which made The Broken Shore such a treat and puts it to perfect service in a book which begs to be read and, ultimately, filmed.' Dublin Evening Herald 'Another triumph for this fine writer.' Daily Telegraph
