Bad Debts: Jack Irish, Book One

‘Having read the new novels of Michael Connelly and Martin Cruz Smith, I have to say that Temple belongs in their company. Australia is a long way off, but this bloke is world-class.’—Washington Post;

'Just a terrific writer ― sharp, funny and ambitious.'—NPR, Fresh Air;

‘One of the world’s finest crime writers.’—The Times;

'Irish is tough and resourceful, yes, but it’s the way Temple brings out his fear, desire, humor, and self-doubt that ranks him among the most interesting series heroes. Read the seven-page opening chapter, as entertaining an introduction as you are likely to find in crime fiction, and you'll be hooked.'—Booklist;

'Temple's characters are complex, his plots complicated, his world smudged if not outright dirty - that is, his books are entirely credible.' —HeadButler.com
