The Broken Shore Summary

The Broken Shore by Peter Temple

Broken by his last case, homicide detective Joe Cashin has fled the city and returned to his hometown to run its one-man police station while his wounds heal and the nightmares fade. He lives a quiet life with his two dogs in the tumbledown wreck his family home has become. It's a peaceful existence - ideal for the rehabilitating man. But his recovery is rudely interrupted by a brutal attack on Charles Bourgoyne, a prominent member of the local community. Suspicion falls on three young men from the local Aboriginal community. But Cashin's not so sure and as the case unfolds amid simmering corruption and prejudice, he finds himself holding on to something that it might be better to let go. Winner of Australia's Ned Kelly Award for Best Crime Novel of the Year, winner of the Australian Publishing Book of the Year Award and nominated for the Miles Franklin Award (Australia's premier literary award), The Broken Shore has been published internationally to critical acclaim.

The Broken Shore Reviews

'A towering achievement that brings alive a ferocious landscape and a motley assortment of clashing characters. The sense of place is stifling in its intensity, and seldom has a waltz of the damned proven so hypnotic. Indispensable.' Maxim Jakubowski, Guardian 'It's hard to know where to start praising this book. Plot, style, setting and characters are all startlingly good The Broken Shore is one of those watershed books that makes you rethink your ideas about reading.' Sydney Morning Herald 'He is writing the kind of books I've been trying to write and writing them better than I do' John Harvey, The Guardian.
