International crime fiction at its best.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>'Temple himself is a master craftsman...the breathless, terrifying ending provides top-notch suspense with Jack in a desperate fight for his life.' Keir Graff, <i>Booklist</i> <p/><p>Jack Irish--gambler, cook, and cabinet maker, finder of people who don't want to be found--has a new job, hunting for evidence that might save the beautiful sculptor Sarah Longmore from a murder rap.</p><p><i>White Dog</i> is the final installment in the Jack Irish series, featuring Peter Temple's best-loved protagonist.</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>'Peter Temple? Only one of the world's better novelists. But unknown to most American readers largely because he lives in Australia...Temple's characters are complex, his plots complicated, his world smudged if not outright dirty - that is, his books are entirely credible.'-<em>HeadButler.com</em></p> <p/>'Without being overly dismissive of the carefully worked plots, the beatings and killings are really just excuses for the cooking and woodworking; that is to say, Temple himself is a master craftsman, and there is as much pleasure to be had in watching Irish make a moody meal on a rainy night as there is in watching him end up on the wrong end of a beating. And not to give the violence short shrift, either: Temple gives his protagonist as convincing a beating as you're likely to find in crime fiction, and the breathless, terrifying ending provides top-notch suspense with Jack in a desperate fight for his life.'-<em>Booklist</em><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Peter Temple</b> has worked extensively as a journalist and editor for newspapers and magazines in several countries.
