Shooting Star

'No summary or catalogue of details will do it justice. Read it for the writing and for where it says this sort of novel is today.'
Age

'If you have not read a Temple thriller, you don’t know what you are missing.'
Adelaide Advertiser

'A tough, contemporary crime novel that takes the reader down some very mean Australian streets…A terrific read by one of Australia’s best crime novelists.'
Canberra Times

'Temple’s dialogue is crisp and the narrative at times poetic…a tense unputdownable thriller with full-throated characters and dynamite plot.'
Castlemaine Mail

'Peter Temple is, quite simply, the finest crime writer we have and Shooting Star reminds us why and how he has set a standard internationally that few come near. His Chandler-like ability to capture the dark corners of our sunniest places is as good as it gets. Temple weaves past and present beautifully …a terrific and powerful read.'
Hobart Mercury

'As always, Temple is a master of the complex plot and his characters leap from the page fully realised in a taut, action-packed thriller.'
