"Flinty, funny, subtle, and smart . . .Temple ranks among [the crime genre's] very best practitioners."-- Entertainment Weekly "Having read the new novels of Michael Connelly and Martin Cruz Smith, I have to say that Temple belongs in their company. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Well written book. Originally bought it to read for book club, but really enjoyed how well written this mystery is. It is is Australia so the author gives you a glossary in the back for all the words and terms we Americans are not familar with. Found the book well paced. Everyone in our group enjoyed it.Would recommend.
