DDC classification: 823.914 Summary: CRIME & MYSTERY. AUSTRALIAN. Sequel to the highly acclaimed The Broken Shore winner of the Duncan Lawrie Daggar for Best Crime Novel 2007. "I liked the idea of staying in that world, the world of homicide and I liked the character of his superior, Inspector Villani. So the new book is called Truth. It has Villani as the central character in the city - the city and the country, because Villani's father is out there. A strange character, a Vietnam veteran who lives out in the sticks, breeds bad racehorses (I'm trying to bring some of my themes together here, you'll notice). And it is set at a time of a bad bush fire season. I usually set my books in winter, to reflect their mood, a pathetic fallacy. So I've set this one in summer, in the city, trying to capture something of the city but also to bring the forces of corruption very much closer to the protagonists. I'm trying a big story this time, it'll be the second one in the trilogy, with a third one to follow". The Author.
